The American Legion Economic Division is governed by a full commission that focuses on veteran employment, business development, education and help for homeless veterans. The commission was formed to ensure that veterans receive the opportunity to succeed in civilian life. The staff works closely with The American Legion Legislative Division to advance legislation supported by American Legion resolutions, along with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Labor, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Small Business Administration, and other state and national government entities.
The division also works with corporate partners, such as RecruitMilitary, LLC, Avue, and Military.com to promote and execute more than 100 veteran job fairs and career expos nationwide. The American Legion coordinates a Homeless Veterans Task Force throughout its 55 departments. The Economic Commission also recognizes businesses and employer services with awards for excellence in veteran outreach.
