Too often, policy discussions focus on employment rates over the quality of the jobs that are available to veterans. Ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for veterans should be a priority of policies and programs to improve employment opportunities for this population. Veterans have already put their lives and health on the line for their country, sometimes with long-term effects that make them vulnerable to additional hazards on the job. Understanding why veterans choose the occupations they do and the risks they are exposed to could lead to policies that improve veteran health and support for all workers.
政策讨论常常过于关注就业率，而忽视了退伍军人可获得工作的质量。确保退伍军人有安全健康的工作条件应成为旨在改善这一群体就业机会的政策和项目的优先事项。退伍军人为国家已经将自己的生命和健康置之度外，有时还会产生长期影响，使他们在工作中更容易受到其他危害。了解退伍军人选择其所从事职业的原因以及他们所面临的风险，可能会催生改善退伍军人健康状况并惠及所有劳动者的政策。
