Unemployed veteran: Wow, I'm so happy the unemployment rate dropped

The following is an opinion piece written by Jason Sievers, a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan now living in his parent's basement.

Hey, did you hear the news? The unemployment rate for Post-9/11 veterans was only 7.5 percent in April. That's down from 9.25 in March.

I must say, I'm absolutely ecstatic. In fact, I helped do my part to lower that percentage.

No, I didn't get a job.
