Some employers don't believe they're equipped to handle them in the workplace if they have PTSD.
That stigma is causing issues.

Last month, the unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans dropped to 9.7 percent.
The 2012 Workplace Warriors Think Tank - made up of business, military and health leaders - released an updated report:

Initiatives are in place to help put vets to work, hiring managers just need to embrace them.
