(BPT) - For many veterans with disabilities, service to the nation does not end when active duty ends. It continues through civilian roles that support federal missions, strengthen domestic production and contribute to military readiness.
The transition from military service to civilian employment can be challenging, as veterans often leave structured environments and must adjust to new workplaces while seeking meaningful, stable careers. Veterans with service-related disabilities often face additional barriers to employment. They also make up a growing share of today's veterans: Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 34% had service-related disabilities in 2025, compared with 20% in 2015. For many of these veterans, employment plays a central role in successful reintegration and long-term well-being.
