State Capitol Bureau

Intro: 
The Division of Workforce Development in charge of helping those who serve our country find employment will not say how they plan to do so.
RunTime:  0:31
OutCue:  SOC

Wrap: The communications director of the Missouri Division of Workforce Development refuses to comment on what his department is doing for these veterans until he receives an OK from a person he refused to name.

One-thousand Missouri National Guard troops currently deployed overseas will need to find and secure jobs within the next several months.

A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics study shows nationally eleven point seven percent of veterans who served since 9/11 are unemployed.
