Veterans Poised for Positions a Physician’s Assistants

Posted by OFCCP Specialist

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) pledged to open up career-paths beyond nursing and expand opportunities for veterans to become physician assistants.  Colleges and universities with programs to train physician’s assistants will be given priority in grant awarding to expand opportunities for veterans to advance beyond their basic training to fill these roles.  The Affordable Care Recovery act in 2010 and 2011 over $45 million has been awarded and there are currently 57 active physician’s assistants training grants. “To expand the number of training programs that accommodate veterans, the Administration also will identify model programs that offer expedited curricula for veterans and that offer enhanced veteran recruiting, retention, and mentoring services,” according to the Obama Administration.  These actions will put vets with medical expertise back to work sooner allowing them to move forward with their civilian careers.  Read more…

Moreover, it is likely that those who are currently unemployed and looking for work would be willing to accept lower wages in order to get hired. As a result, economists say that it will take years before the market wages return to their pre-recession levels. Read more…

Recipe for a cheerful Labor Day

Posted by Rathin Sinha, President

As America celebrates Labor Day to pay tribute to the contributions of its workforce, the mood is anything but festive for millions of Americans. While shifts in the labor system has been occurring for years, the recent global recession has taken a far greater toll on the American worker than workers in any other developed nation. Since the beginning of 2007, unemployment in the US has increased by 5 percent compared to only 1 percent increase in France and Japan, and a 2 percent rise in Britain. In the same period unemployment rate remained mostly unchanged or even went down in the economies of China, India and Germany. American employers have responded to the recession with far more layoffs and staff reduction than those in other countries. Read more…
