The Chicago Urban league announced the creation of a jobs program for amputee,
homeless and severely wounded veterans yesterday.
The organization plans to market television and various ancillary
telephone equipment and drive the incoming phone leads to disabled vets
in their own homes or shelters.
The program is designed to provide
access to employment for the many severely disabled veterans returning
from Iraq. The job requirement is only to answer the phone and log the
order. The task requires almost no physical strength or mobility and
will provide an income for those who might otherwise be unable to work.
