“Virtually the only jobs explicitly reserved for veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs are toilet-cleaning ‘housekeeping aides,’ a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of data from USAjobs.gov found.
“Filling the janitorial jobs with veterans helps the VA meet its hiring goals without intruding on a lucrative union giveaway that favors current government employees over everyone else for the majority of open positions.
“The VA is currently advertising for 3,000 positions, some seeking multiple people each. Only about 50 job ads, seeking an estimated few hundred workers, are accepting applications exclusively from veterans. And of those, all but a handful would have a returning hero trade a rifle for a mop and $13 an hour. At the same time, more than a thousand vacancies, many with no highly specialized skills required, were being advertised as open only to current civil servants.” – Luke Rosiak
