November proclaimed “Hire Veterans First” month
PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard declared November as “Hire Veterans First”
month, issuing a proclamation asking South Dakotans to acknowledge the contributions
veterans have made to the state and country.

“I encourage South Dakota business leaders, public officials, and the leaders of civic
and fraternal organizations that have employment opportunities to hire veterans for
those positions,” said Gov. Daugaard. “Veterans make excellent employees.”
The South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation (DLR) and the U.S. Department
of Labor/Veterans’ Employment Training Service continuously educate South Dakota
businesses about the exceptional employment resources that veterans possess.
“Veterans have served our country well, and many have now made the transition to
civilian life and are ready to take on new challenges,” said State Labor and Regulation
Secretary Pam Roberts. “They possess the necessary skills to accommodate many
businesses and are ready to enter the workforce.”

Veterans’ employment representatives are located in 19 DLR local offices across the
state. They provide employment services that help veterans transition into the civilian
workforce.
