Job fair for veterans coming to Austin this week

The event will be held Sept. 12 at the Frank C. Erwin Jr. Special Events Center.

AUSTIN, Texas — Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and RecruitMilitary will be hosting the Austin Veterans Job Fair in Austin, a free event for veterans, military spouses, transitioning military, National Guard members and Reservists. 

In addition to providing career opportunities for veterans, RecruitMilitary said they also focus their efforts on the more than 600,000 military spouses in the U.S. who are unemployed and/or underemployed in their professional careers. 

The company also said that they are "actively working to help address the high unemployment rate of military spouses – nearly 25% – a rate more than six times the national average."
