While our economy is slowly recovering, far too many veterans in California are either unemployed or underemployed. California is home to over two million veterans, the vast majority located in L.A. and San Diego. Unemployment among veterans who served after September 11, 2001 is more than 12 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

To help veterans in the Greater Los Angeles area get back to work, the 3rd Annual Veterans Employment and Resource Expo will take place on Monday, June 4th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants will meet with companies seeking to fill full-time, part-time, and apprenticeship positions. 

Candidates of all ages, experience levels, and industry backgrounds are encouraged to attend. There will be a host of Social Service/Nonprofit Organizations in attendance providing assistance as well.

Free parking is available onsite.
