Summary

Jobs for Veterans Act - Entitles the following to priority under certain job training programs funded by the Department of Labor (Department): (1) a veteran; (2) the spouse of any veteran who died of a service-connected disability; (3) the spouse of a member serving on active duty who is listed as missing in action, captured in the line of duty by a hostile force, or forcibly detained or interned in the line of duty by a foreign government or power; and (4) the spouse of any veteran who has a total service-connected disability rating or who died while a disability so evaluated was in existence. Requires any Federal personal property and nonpersonal services procurement contract of $100,000 or more to contain a provision requiring the contractor to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment disabled veterans, veterans who served on active duty during a war or campaign for which a campaign badge has been authorized, and veterans who, while serving on active duty, participated in a military operation for which a service medal was awarded. Directs the Secretary of Labor to carry out a program of performance incentive awards to States to encourage the improvement and modernization of veterans' employment, training, and placement services. Establishes within the Department an Assistant and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans' Employment and Training, with specified duties. Requires the assignment of regional administrators, and State directors, for veterans' employment and training. Requires States to employ a sufficient number of disabled veterans' outreach specialists and local veterans' employment representatives. Establishes the President's National Hire Veterans Committee to take certain actions to facilitate the employment of veterans and disabled veterans. Expresses the sense of Congress commending veterans' and military service organizations. Requires a study to quantify the economic benefit attributable to veterans employment and training services.
