[Alberta's Child]

I’m not Canadian, and I don’t live in Canada. “Alberta’s Child” is the name of a song. :-O

I live in Appalachia.

The companies I referenced that are desperate for good help are in manufacturing (transportation equipment, steel and aluminum fabrication, and building products), food production, and warehousing/distribution. These are not low-paying part-time jobs, and some of these employers end up using passenger vans to shuttle employees here from 50+ miles away.

Why do you think our highly trained Vets are unemployed and homeless? Because they're lazy bums with poor work ethics?

I have no idea. You’re the one who brought them up. I don’t know any of them. Maybe there are mental health and/or substance abuse issues?

For the benefit of the Freepers who may be looking, why not share who some of those companies are.

You can look at any IT department or many construction sites to see why vets aren't being hired.
