When it rains it pours. I just found out that Albuquerque, NM, has also implemented a guaranteed interview for veterans http://www.stripes.com/news/us/qualified-military-veterans-get-boost-for-albuquerque-city-jobs-1.179927. I believe that local governments across the U.S. will follow suit and show true leadership by example for businesses in their areas and we will quickly see the veteran unemployment problem evaporate.

Congratulations to Carroll County, GA, for voting 7-0 to guarantee qualified veterans an interview for jobs with the county. This great initiative was spearheaded by Commissioner Kevin Jackson, whose son is currently serving in Afghanistan. I'm looking forward to seeing private businesses in the county following this example and netting themselves veteran talent that can help them grow their business.
