Description: Documents the plight of over 300,000 Vietnam veterans unable to find employment upon returning from the war and discusses what is being done about this problem. Focuses on the cases of three veterans: one who, although able to go to school on the GI bill, must work nights in order to support himself; another who obtained an undesirable job through an employment agency and now must use part of his salary to pay the agency fee; and another who turned to crime after an unprofitable search for employment. Explains that many Vietnam veterans feel as if they are strangers in their own land.
