There are tens of thousands of disabled veterans in Canada and at least a Million in the United States. As the unemployment rate has declined to 4.9% in the US employers, who should always be targeting veterans, should make sure they are also targeting disabled veterans as it is the right thing to do. Disabled employees also have higher retention rates which results in lower hiring and training costs. Finally there are great incentives with both Cash and tax credits for hiring US Veterans. http://www.benefits.va.gov/VOW/for-employers.asp
