Monterey, CA Veterans Administration Having Difficulty Finding Qualified Hires That Want To Work There

As the Veterans Administration looks to reinvent itself, one issue it has is finding qualified employees who want to work there in light of its recently tarnished reputation.  The VA is now offering good starting salaries, well-financed research opportunities and rewarding work with patients in great need, according to the New York Times.  However, many people just don't want them. Robert A. McDonald, the new head of the Department of Veterans Affairs, admits hiring is a challenge at the massive 330,000 employee agency.  However, with the spotlight focused on the agency, it appears ripe for change.  I'm just glad that they are admitting their failures and trying to move on.
