We see a decline in opioid use. We see a decline in suicide. And I think that is obviously good for the veteran.
While the employment situation for veterans continue to improve with veterans' unemployment being lower than nonveterans' unemployment, DOL will not rest as long as any veteran needs assistance finding meaningful civilian employment.
I served on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and I am often reminded of President Lincoln's promise, 'To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan.'
I have heard the comment, the anecdotal comment, that you just mentioned, that they just keep them there until they can say, 'Well, we hired a veteran,' then they let them go.
