Might be good news for military veterans seeking a federal position. Note the following quote:
Obama is also pitching a Veterans Job Corps conservation program, said Salazar, noting that a great many veterans were among the country's first national parks rangers.
Salazar said Obama is proposing $1 billion for the program, which the administration projects will mean jobs for about 20,000 veterans over the next five years.
"Veterans will restore our great outdoors by providing visitor programs, restoring habitat, protecting cultural resources, eradicating invasive species, and operating facilities," he said. "Additionally, [they] will help make a significant dent in the deferred maintenance of our federal, state and tribal lands, including jobs that will repair and rehabilitate trails, roads, levees, recreation facilities and other assets."
