Vets Helping Vets (also known as Hired Labs)-Hired Labs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to end veteran underemployment. Veterans have the skills employers seek, but are more likely to be underemployed than their peers. Although significant strides have been made in reducing veteran unemployment, the underemployment gap between veterans and non-veterans has been growing since 2010 and continues to widen. Veterans who enlisted in the military are more likely to be underemployed than those who served as commissioned officers.
