These “younger retirees” are typically in their 40’s looking for jobs to supplement a 20,000 a year retirement takehome from the government.
It’s never been easy to get hired in one’s 40’s, and if your specialty has been blowing things up and shooting people and training for the same, then there aren’t that many job openings.
(Although Homeland Security dreams of the day....)
Nowadays, it's tough for anyone to get a new job, veteran or not.
But there are still many folks (like me) who mentally award extra “points” to folks whose résumés include service in the United States Armed Forces.
Veterans often have a bit of a leg up on the rest of folks when looking for a new career. In tough times like these, when lots and lots of folks in their 40s (and even 50s) are having to start second, or even third careers, veterans are relatively advantaged compared to non-vets.
