You know the job market is still bad when you go to a job fair for veterans, and you run into a guy who helps veterans get jobs, and he’s laid-off, too.
I met Ray Parrish at a veteran’s job fair at Chicago’s Roosevelt High School. He specializes in helping vets with less than honorable discharges.
Without an honorable discharge, it’s really difficult to find a job, and often these bad military records are simply a symptom of post traumatic stress disorder.
“He does a great job,” said Chester Henry, a 66-year-old Vietnam vet who’s been battling this issue for most of his life.
