The Internal Revenue Service has met its goal of hiring a minimum of 1,000 additional veterans in fiscal 2008.

With three weeks to go before the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, IRS officials said they had hired 1,052 veterans.

“We are not going to stop there,” IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said in a statement. “We will continue to recruit from this talented pool of people who already have demonstrated their leadership, work ethic and dedication.”

To hire the veterans, the IRS worked with major advocacy groups like the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Blinded Veterans of America and Paralyzed Veterans of America.

The IRS also worked with the Pentagon and Veterans Affairs Department, which have veterans employment programs.
