A comprehensive study of veterans and veterans families found a huge disconnect between 92 percent favoring expanded help for veterans and their families and the actual services being provided.  The study, conducted for the James Madison Institute by USF Professor Susan MacManus found that many veterans have no idea how to access services already being provided.  Lt Governor Jennifer Carroll says Florida needs to do better to improve the 30 percent unemployment rate for veterans.

“It adds to either our work pool, it adds to our social order in our communities.  It’s just good common sense for us to provide a service and make sure we take very, very good care of those who have given us the sacrifice of self,” said Lt. Governor Jennifer Scott.

The Florida survey of not only veterans but their families is believed to be the first of its kind in the nation.
