The Washington Post: The federal government set a 20-year high for hiring veterans last year, with nearly 29 percent of its new employees for 2012 being former military personnel who served during times of war, according to an announcement this week from the Office of Personnel Management.
The executive branch brought in about 195,000 new workers last year, of which about 56,000 were veterans, OPM said. That ratio represents an increase of about 0.6 percent over 2011.
