Hiring Heroes: Why Ohio’s Workforce Needs Veterans
May 22, 2024
Only five other states are home to more veterans than Ohio. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Buckeye State is home to 729,645 veterans. Only California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas have more veterans than Ohio.
With the state’s unemployment rate well below historic averages, many employers are turning to veterans to fill open positions. While the veteran unemployment rate is nationally lower that the nonveteran unemployment rate, 3% versus 3.8%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, many returning veterans struggle to re-integrate themselves into the civilian workforce after military service.
“Finding the mission again,” or reinventing a new life in the civilian work world, can be hugely challenging for many. The transition can be a time when veterans are at greater risk for depression, homelessness, and increased risk of crisis, according to the veterans’ advocacy organization DAV.
Part of the challenge for veterans is helping civilian employers recognize the key skills they’re seeking in veteran resumes. State officials and leading employers are helping to change this; the state is now home to 2,792 designated “Military Friendly” employers in the state of Ohio, and state-run and corporate programs are seeing marked successes in helping veterans re-integrate into Ohio’s workforce.
With a panel of veteran leaders, we unpack the hidden challenges Ohio veterans face returning to the workforce after military life, and dive into the strategies that are connecting veterans with Ohio employers ready to hire them.

Imagine what economic growth looks like on a graph and you may picture a line slanting upwards from left to right. Have you ever wondered where the line stops?

Circular, or “doughnut,” economies are sustainable ...

    I think that company's should be prevented from using previous convictions to bar employment. Once a person has completed probation or parole they should be eligible for work. That idea that company's should use that info to deny employment is responsible for the homeless explosion the entire nation is going through right now. So it is a bad idea. Currently, they are not able to rejoin the workforce. Then they turn to drugs because they cant bear the pain of not being able to ever provide for themselves or their children. We have more compassion for the rest of the world than we do for ourselves. Obvious exceptions of course. Promoting one class of people over another class of people is the Chinese structure for society. The Bush-Sino effect.

    I was excited to watch this until I watched it and realized , I’m glad Michigan is how it is and Ohios cannabis program will be regulated by big business, “social equity “ (whatever the hell that means) and lawmakers. Not once did I hear how it would help normal everyday Ohio citizens. I just heard it helps them to access it. What about mom and pops cannabis shops? Nope. Work at factory, buy at STATE DISPO.

    Rubbish its been debunked as a myth long ago that there is no pay gap, in terms of women automatically paid less based on their gender. Men work harder, longer hours and do more dangerous jobs generally. That wont fit the narrative as this is just a political tool to divide and get us arguing about this bs. Shame on Columbus and the rest who have this toxic agenda.

    The biggest key is to ensure people vote for the .05% sales tax increase on which the LinkUs plan hinges. We need to be involved enough in our community to encourage others to vote yes on this miniscule increase that would create a huge economic boon for our city that is rapidly expanding.

    Columbus can have light rail and this along with the 3 C train and Antrack. The lightrail can have a North Line, Airport line, Easton Line, NW line, SW and SE line. The lightrail can link with the BRT. The North line can go to Polaris with a branch off of it going to Sunbury. The NW line can go thru Dublin up to Marysville or Marion. SW line can go to Lancaster for example. The Northline can go past Polaris and into Dublin. Have 2 huge transit systems downtown. One as a bus station for locales and a grand central station with Amtrack and the 3 C train. All of the Antrack connections will be there and the fast train from Pittsburg to Chicago. Since Columbus was named Smart City why won’t the government fund Columbus to have best transit in the country. A smart transit that incorporates all. A west Lightrail could connect Madison County/London, OH. A rail line to Intel and Newark combined with the new improved Expressway system with a new outer belt that was proposed due to Intel. In some points the Antrack can connect with the light rail to a place say like, Zanesville. All of this can be down. Can street cars can run in circular around downtown hotspots to go into the new “ Captiol Line Trail. While at it built an overhead park similar to Highline in NYC. Start at the rooftop of the Chase building and extend. Call it Discovery High

    Why put it in if its going to be significantly slower than driving, potentially more expesnive, and face similar delays since the track isnt owned by amtrak. This investment is less than a half measure, its a quatermeasure, and the only reason people would take it is for its novelty. If you wanna be serious about the future of rail, lay new electricfied track. Christ its not as if the geography in the Midwest is prohibitive like it is in the West or sections of East Coast. Also how is this going to take 5 years (you know it will take longer cause amtrak is incompetent, see acelas replacement) for this project to be completed if the line already exists?

    Perspective about 1st October 2008 she finished grabbing mom's camp in Indian Purchase Penobscot co. Maine. O'Connor supported the attack on a WW2 overseas veteran's camp in Maine in order to pay off the Attorney General's lawyer who grabbed mom's extensive Slavic library. We have Paul Pfeifer's " A Life Well Lived" ALWL published by the Ohio Supremes since May 2000 where they brag about upholding wills and where they got their appetite for Slavic stuff. Read all about it. They are as interested in upholding wills as the man in the moon. We have the papers that proposed this grab that were faxed from the university to "Lord Jim Ramsey" at the Skowhegan Board of Education 5 weeks before "judge" Randy Rogers Butler Probate and Supreme court hero of ALWL crammed this "agreement" down the executor's throat. Mom mentioned neither anything about her library nor her camp in her will. It was just garbage made up by Ohio supermajority courts. Current Ohio AG Yost has admitted the illegal prosecutions conducted by his predecessors down in the Butler Co. probate, a fiefdom of Randy Rogers.

    Housing really is the major issue of our time. Get the supply out of the corporations hands that control supply so they can boost their profits. Control supply so rent and ownership is expensive, then no one ever owns a home and no one ever has collateral to actually start businesses for innovation and competition against the already established owner class. George Carlin has been proven right more and more.
