Nation helps veterans find civilian jobs

Employers urged to give preference to ex-military personnel in recruitment

Several local governments have adopted measures to help veterans land jobs, following the central government's promise of an all-out effort to boost their well-being.

The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Veterans Affairs organized a job fair on Tuesday for employers and veterans in the capital. More than 270 State-owned enterprises and private companies took part. It was the first of its kind for military retirees after the bureau was founded. Nearly 1,000 job vacancies were made available.
