"The big picture: It's not yet clear how many military vets have been fired, or will be. Last year veterans made up 28% of the federal workforce, per federal data, a far bigger share than the 5% in the private sector.
About 36% of the vets working in civil service, more than 200,000 in total, are disabled or have a serious health condition, per federal data.
"This is the largest attack on veteran employment in our lifetime," said William Attig, the executive director of the Union Veterans Council, a labor group that represents many of these workers." (Axios)
