Veterans bring more than just technical skills to the workplace. They arrive with experience in leadership, problem-solving under pressure and working as part of a team. Many have already managed people, resources and complex operations before they ever walked into a civilian job.
They also tend to be reliable and adaptable. Military service teaches people how to show up, follow through and adjust when the plan changes. Employers who hire veterans often find that these traits translate well into civilian roles, whether the position is in logistics, management, customer service or a skilled trade.
Labor’s local offices, found around the state, can help employers connect with veterans who are seeking a new role. Our staff work with veterans who are job-ready or close to it, and we can help employers identify candidates who match what they need. We can also assist with the hiring process if an employer is new to working with veterans.
Contact a local Labor office in your area to be connected with a veterans representative who can help with your hiring needs.

Unemployment insurance (UI) claimants are generally required to complete five work search activities each week. However, claimants may be considered employer-attached and exempt from these requirements if they meet all of the following criteria:
- The claimant worked for the employer for at least 90 days before the separation.
- The claimant maintains regular contact with the employer and is available to return to work when recalled.
|
- The expected return-to-work date falls within 16 weeks of the separation date.
- The employer attachment does not exceed 16 weeks.
A claimant's availability for work during the benefit week is based on the full-time work schedule they most recently worked for the attached employer.
