November 11, 2019 - SACRAMENTO – Veterans Day provides the California Employment Development Department (EDD) an opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have served our country 2019 Veterans Day Report Coverby highlighting the employment resources EDD provides to help veterans in their transition from military service to the civilian workforce. EDD’s 2019 Veterans Day web page features valuable information and resources, along with video success stories that show how veterans, and employers who hired veterans, used EDD services to make a career connection.

“EDD proudly serves California veterans by helping connect them to job opportunities with employers who value their unique skillsets and training,” said EDD Director Patrick W. Henning. “We work to provide our veterans with quality services and assistance that help launch sustainable careers.”

The EDD is also releasing its 2019 Veterans Day Workforce Report highlighting the latest data on veteran employment in California including the industries hiring veterans, the jobs they are performing, and the skills and education veterans possess to meet employer needs.

California’s Veteran Workforce

California is home to 1.6 million veterans. Currently, more than 760,000 California veterans are employed - most often in occupations involving management, protective services, transportation, office administration and construction. Several of these jobs are in industries leading the economic growth in California, which is forecasted to add 1.9 million jobs between 2016 and 2026. That makes veterans well-poised to fill employer needs in the future.

For more than a decade, EDD has held “Honor a Hero, Hire a Vet” job and resource fairs throughout California. These events have linked more than 40,281 veterans and job seekers with more than 14,587 employers and resource agencies, highlighting the unique skills, training, and experiences veterans bring to the civilian workforce.

Through Governor Newsom’s multi-agency initiative, the events are administered by EDD in coordination with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency and other departments.

Additional Services for Veterans:

• Local EDD employment representatives at America’s Job Center of CaliforniaSM locations provide job and career assistance to veterans. EDD veteran representatives work one-on-one and provide specialized assistance to veterans with significant barriers to employment.

CalJOBSSM, EDD’s online labor exchange system, can help veterans translate their military training and specialties into marketable skills applicable to civilian jobs. Veterans will be directed to employers with job openings that match their military experience.

Additional Services for Employers:

• Local employment representatives at America’s Job Center of CaliforniaSM locations work with employers and help match their employment needs with qualified veterans.

CalJOBSSM is available to employers to post job openings. Employers can also refine their candidate searches to focus on veterans.

• The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program provides employers a tax credit for hiring veterans who face special obstacles as they try to reenter the workforce.
