I'm honestly just shocked that out of sixty-five THOUSAND employees, only 1,500 are vets? Do they actively try NOT to hire them? 2.3%? Fuckin lol JFC
Veterans only make up about 4.8 percent of the population. 16.2 million veterans vs US population of 331 million.
And then considering there's lots of that veteran population that is either too old or too disabled to work, 2.3% seems reasonable.
Also without putting two fine a point on it the average non-military person is probably better qualified on average than a military person because the military person is qualified for military actions, but not so much for civilian roles.
Sure maybe you can strip down a gun but can you do a mail merge? Also how's your passive aggressive email banter?
The rule of thumb is for every grunt there is 3 - 10 people doing technical or administrative work. That is also true for the air component of each branch but even more so were each air group needs an entire squadron of technicians to do the technical work that is out of scope for the technicians in a flying squadron.
