According to the VA Center for Women Veterans, there are over 1.8 million women Veterans in America today.
Looking at the composition of today’s generation of Veterans (the “Post 9/11” era), women now make up between 5 and 25 percent of the total armed forces.
As a newly discharged woman Veteran, finding a job in the civilian marketplace is often a difficult process filled with many potential challenges. Apparent
gender-based pay gaps in certain labor markets, and differences between military skill sets and civilian workforce requirements can create roadblocks
to employment within the private sector. Federal employment, and – more specifically – employment in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), offers a compelling alternative.
