A big front-page above-the-fold feature in USA Today:  Job-Seeking Veterans.

Forbes.com featured a two-page story and a slide show, and the American Morning show on CNN spent over four minutes discussing our results.

Articles on news sites across the country:

Mentions on TV news broadcasts in:

When a study has this kind of impact, it means that it has special resonance with the public.  In this case, the issue of finding jobs for returning veterans has lately been a major news story, and a political football.  Our study managed to be released at the height of this national concern, and provide some answers.
