Veterans with Disabilities Need Several Approaches for Employment

Veterans with disabilities have unique needs in transitioning to and retaining civilian employment, and many are unaware that they are protected by the [Americans with Disabilities Act][1]. A panel of experts reported this to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) at a [meeting][2] held on November 16, 2011. The panel included representatives from federal agencies and the private sector. The meeting was one of a series the EEOC has held to examine barriers to employment.
