Hard to find work for veterans returning home (2011 average of unemployment for iraq and Afghanistan at 11 percent, higher than natonal average of 8 percent) 4. OSHA- inordinate length of time to establish new safety regulations, which required congressional approval most the time and second- OSHA lacked the resources to carry out its mandate. 5. WHD mishandled workers complaints 6. Federal shutdown due to affordable care act
