IL HR0521

Encourages the Illinois Department of Employment Security to create a website modeled after Missouri's "Show Me Heroes" program to help unemployed veterans find work.

Notes that Illinois has the 8th highest veteran unemployment rate in the United States as of March 2015, with 573,000 unemployed veterans nationwide.

Recognizes that 59% of unemployed veterans nationwide in 2014 were ages 45 and over, indicating a significant employment challenge for older veterans.

Directs that copies of the resolution be delivered to Governor Bruce Rauner and the Director of Employment Security.
