MANAGEMENT MATTERS

Talk to veterans groups and you'll find they are inundated with complaints from veterans who say they were passed over for jobs. Many-even those who should get special consideration because they are disabled-tell about applying for, and being rejected for, job after federal job.
It's easy to point to statistics that challenge the notion that veterans don't get their due. There are 450,000 veterans in government's civilian ranks. That's 25 percent, much higher than the II percent in the U.S. workforce overall. In 2003,33 percent of new federal hires were veterans. That would suggest veterans preference is highly successful.
