Wisconsin’s Veteran Employment Services

Gov. Evers Announces Wisconsin’s Veteran Employment Services Rank Top Five in America for Second Consecutive Year 

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), announced Wisconsin has retained a top-five ranking in America for successfully helping veterans find employment for the second consecutive year. The ranking underscores the governor’s and the Evers Administration’s continued commitment to supporting Wisconsin’s approximately 300,000 veterans and connecting veterans with available jobs after they have returned to civilian life. The governor’s announcement comes as today, DWD is hosting a Vets Ready Symposium in Appleton, an annual event where DWD recognizes employers who go the extra mile to hire and support veterans in the workforce.

“Supporting our veterans and their families when they return to civilian life is critically important, whether it’s making sure housing is affordable, that healthcare and mental health care are accessible, or ensuring veterans and their families can receive the services they have earned,” said Gov. Evers. “A key part of our work to support our veterans and their families is making sure they can get connected to good, family-supporting jobs right here in Wisconsin. I’m proud of my administration’s efforts to help make Wisconsin one of the top states in America for helping connect our veterans with available jobs, and I look forward to continuing this important work.”
