Mission

A nationwide effort to help veterans and military families stay in service through state and local government roles.

Facts

Veterans make up a disproportionate percentage of the Federal workforce - with some estimates putting veterans at between 25% and 30% of all Federal employees.

Today, the federal workforce is contracting and many of those laid off are from the Veteran and Military Family communityThese are patriotic Americans who chose to continue their service after the military though public service and our state and local governments have opportunities to keep serving still.

Action

As a Rapid Response to current downsizing, Vet Public Service has brought together the best aggregators and portals for state and local government jobs to one place for veterans and military family members who want to continue their service to communities across the country.
