As veteran unemployment ticks up, the New York State Police is stepping up efforts to recruit former service members, according to Spectrum News 1.
The agency is one of the state’s largest veteran employers and will honor over 100 officers with military ties at a special luncheon this week. Officials from the Department of Defense and the State Police highlighted the benefits of this partnership and ongoing recruitment initiatives.
With veteran joblessness rising from 2.9% last year to 3.8% in May, the State Police’s focus on employing military personnel offers a stable path forward for those transitioning to civilian life.
