Despite employers’ laser focus on improving the employee experience in today’s competitive labor market, there is still underemployed talent who are missing out on adequate outreach and support. One group that is particularly underrepresented in these efforts is military veterans.
LinkedIn’s Veteran Opportunity Report found that veterans are 15.6% more likely to be underemployed than non-veterans, even though they remain with their company 8% longer than non-veterans and are 39% more likely to be promoted earlier. So while veterans tend to perform well in civilian jobs, they aren’t always getting the opportunity to prove it.
