*THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL CONVERSATION; it is, however, an EMPLOYMENT conversation: Should more Vets work inside the Hill? If so, how do we make that happen? Where do interested Vets begin? A new survey estimates that fewer than 180 veterans are employed as Capitol Hill staff, a mere 3 percent of the 6,000-plus employees there... For comparison, in fiscal 2012 nearly half of all Defense Department employees were veterans. One in three Veterans Affairs and Transportation Department workers were veterans that year, and the Education Department — one of the lowest veteran hiring rates among federal agencies — had just under 10 percent. Now, a network of veterans working in Congress is hoping to change that. goo.gl/7xv1VT Also to consider, via Wounded Warrior Program: cao.house.gov/wounded-warrior -Jason Davis
