Additionally, the bill aims to strengthen the relationship between the military and civilian sectors by promoting the hiring of reservists and National Guard members. Overall, the Work Opportunity Credit for Small Businesses Act seeks to support both small businesses and members of the military reserves by providing a financial incentive for hiring reservists and National Guard members.
