Wisconsin ranked highly for veteran employment services

Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), announced Wisconsin has retained a top-five ranking in America for successfully helping veterans find employment for the second consecutive year. The ranking underscores the governor’s and the Evers Administration’s continued commitment to supporting Wisconsin’s approximately 300,000 veterans and connecting veterans with available jobs after they have returned to civilian life. Wisconsin ranks fourth in the Uniform National Threshold Entered Employment Rate for veterans and eligible persons, a standard created by the U.S. Department of Labor to measure how effective states are in providing employment services to veterans.
