Female Veterans Get Boost From Labor Department

Women veterans are getting extra attention from the Labor Department. It's launched a website to help them find jobs. And it's looking for an expert manager to lead the way. The department says unemployment among female vets is higher than among male veterans. Women veterans are more likely to have service-related disabilities. They're nearly twice as likely to be divorced or single parents. And, while overall veterans tend to make more money than non- veterans, female vets make less than their male counterparts.
