When we talk about employment factors such as access to health care and health insurance, unemployment rates, financial wellness and job stability, one aspect that always comes up is differences in demographics: What's true for a group of one age or in one area of the country isn't true for everyone.

On the heels of Veterans Day, this is a perfect opportunity to highlight one of these demographics: returning military personnel. There are more than 19.2 million veterans living in the United States, and despite their training, skills and experience, many have a difficult time finding employment when they return home.

"Ideally, every city would roll out the red carpet for our veterans, given all they've sacrificed for cities and citizens all across the country. That's not the case, however, and it ultimately comes down to prioritization and funding. Some areas simply focus on veterans affairs more than others, and some have the means to make an impact, while others don't," WalletHub CEO Odysseas Papadimitr said, commenting on the company's recent ranking of best cities for veterans.
