Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h1>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (ET) Tuesday, April 28, 2026                                    USDL-26-0666\r\n\r\nTechnical information:  (202) 691-6378  *  cpsinfo@bls.gov  *  www.bls.gov\/cps  \r\nMedia contact:          (202) 691-5902  *  PressOffice@bls.gov\r\n\r\n\r\n                             EMPLOYMENT SITUATION OF VETERANS -- 2025\r\n\r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any\r\ntime since September 2001--a group referred to as Gulf War-era II veterans--was little changed\r\nat 3.6 percent in 2025, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The jobless rate\r\nfor all veterans increased over the year from 3.0 percent to 3.5 percent in 2025. In August\r\n2025, 50 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans had a service-connected disability, compared with\r\n34 percent of all veterans. \r\n\r\nThis information was obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample\r\nsurvey of about 60,000 eligible households that provides data on employment, unemployment,\r\nand people not in the labor force in the United States. Data about veterans are collected\r\nmonthly in the CPS; these monthly data are the source of the 2025 annual averages presented in\r\nthis news release. In August 2025, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information\r\nabout veterans on topics such as service-connected disability and veterans' current or past\r\nReserve or National Guard membership. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department\r\nof Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training\r\nService. For more information, see the Technical Note in this news release. \r\n\r\n _____________________________________________________________________________________________\r\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      |\r\n|                     Federal Government Shutdown Impact on Veterans Data\t\t      |\r\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      |\r\n| The CPS for October 2025 was not collected due to the federal government shutdown. As a     |\r\n| result, annual estimates for 2025 household survey data were produced using 11-month\t      |\r\n| averages that exclude October. Consequently, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly\t      |\r\n| comparable with annual averages for other years. Veterans supplement data collected in      |\r\n| August 2025 were not affected. For information about the impact of the federal government   |\r\n| shutdown on CPS data, see\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      |\r\n| www.bls.gov\/cps\/methods\/2025-federal-government-shutdown-impact-cps.htm.\t\t      |\r\n|_____________________________________________________________________________________________|\r\n\r\n\r\nHighlights from the 2025 data:\r\n\r\n --The unemployment rate for all veterans increased to 3.5 percent in 2025 and was lower than the\r\n   rate for nonveterans, at 4.2 percent. (See table A.)\r\n\r\n --The unemployment rate for male veterans (3.3 percent) was lower than the rate for female\r\n   veterans (4.6 percent) in 2025. Both measures increased over the year. (See table A.)\r\n\r\n --Unemployment rates for Black and Hispanic veterans were lower than for their nonveteran\r\n   counterparts in 2025, while the rates for White and Asian veterans were not statistically\r\n   different than their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 1.)\r\n\r\n --Among the 294,000 unemployed veterans in 2025, about 60 percent were ages 25 to 54, 35\r\n   percent were age 55 and over, and 5 percent were ages 18 to 24. (See table 2A.)\r\n\r\n --Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a service-connected disability rating of less than 30\r\n   percent in August 2025 were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with a\r\n   rating of 60 percent or higher (85.1 percent versus 64.7 percent). (See table 7.)\r\n\r\n --In August 2025, 38.7 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected disability\r\n   worked in the public sector, compared with 20.2 percent of veterans with no disability.\r\n   Among nonveterans, 13.0 percent worked in the public sector. (See table 8.)\r\n\r\nThe Veteran Population\r\n\r\nIn 2025, 17.3 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 7 percent of the\r\ncivilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. Of all veterans, 12 percent were women.\r\nIn the survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have previously served on active duty\r\nin the U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at the time these data were collected. \r\n\r\nVeterans are much more likely to be men than are nonveterans, and they also tend to be older.\r\nIn part, this reflects the characteristics of veterans who served during the Vietnam era and\r\nearlier wartime periods, all of whom are now age 65 and over. Veterans who served during these\r\nwartime periods accounted for about 28 percent (4.9 million) of the total veteran population\r\nin 2025. The largest group of veterans in 2025, at 33 percent (5.6 million), served during\r\nGulf War-era II (September 2001 to present), while 19 percent of veterans (3.3 million) served\r\nduring Gulf War-era I (August 1990 to August 2001). The remaining 20 percent of veterans (3.5\r\nmillion) last served outside these designated wartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.)              \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for veteran men (3.3 percent) increased by 0.4 percentage point in 2025\r\nwhile the rate for veteran women (4.6 percent) increased by 1.1 percentage points. Compared to\r\nnonveteran men and women, the unemployment rate for veteran men was lower than their\r\nnonveteran counterparts (4.3 percent), while the rate for veteran women was little different\r\nfrom that of their nonveteran counterparts (4.0 percent). Unemployment rates for White (3.3\r\npercent) and Black (5.0 percent) veterans increased over the year, while the rates for Asian\r\n(2.7 percent) and Hispanic or Latino (4.0 percent) veterans were little changed over the year.\r\nBlack veterans had a higher unemployment rate than veterans who are White or Asian in 2025.\r\n\r\nGulf War-era II Veterans\r\n\r\nIn 2025, there were 5.6 million veterans who had served during Gulf War-era II (September 2001\r\nto present). Eighteen percent of these veterans were women, compared to about 15 percent of\r\nGulf War-era I veterans and about 4 percent of veterans from the Vietnam era and earlier\r\nwartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.) \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans was little changed over the year at 3.6\r\npercent. Female Gulf War-era II veterans had a higher unemployment rate than their male\r\ncounterparts in 2025 (4.8 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively). (See table A.) \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 3.4 percent, was lower than the\r\nrate for male nonveterans, at 4.3 percent, in 2025. By age, unemployment rates for male Gulf\r\nWar-era II veterans and male nonveterans were not statistically different, with one exception:\r\n45-to-54-year-old male Gulf War-era II veterans had an unemployment rate of 1.5 percent, lower\r\nthan the rate of 3.0 percent for their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 2B.) \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans, at 4.8 percent, was little\r\ndifferent than the rate for female nonveterans, at 4.0 percent, in 2025. By age, unemployment\r\nrates for female Gulf War-era II veterans and nonveterans were not statistically different,\r\nwith one exception: female veterans ages 25 to 34 had an unemployment rate of 8.1 percent,\r\nhigher than the rate for their nonveteran counterparts, at 4.2 percent. (See table 2C.)\r\n\r\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veteran men were more likely than their nonveteran counterparts to\r\nwork in management, professional, and related occupations (41.8 percent versus 39.5 percent),\r\nand in service occupations (15.5 percent versus 12.9 percent) in 2025. For women, employed\r\nGulf War-era II veterans were more likely than their nonveteran counterparts to work in\r\nmanagement, professional, and related occupations (59.1 percent versus 48.8 percent) and in\r\nnatural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations (2.3 percent versus 1.1 percent).\r\n(See table 4.)\r\n\r\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veteran men were nearly three times as likely to work in the public\r\nsector in 2025 as their employed nonveteran counterparts--27.3 percent versus 10.0 percent.\r\nEmployed female Gulf War-era II veterans were about twice as likely to work in the public\r\nsector than nonveteran women--33.4 percent versus 16.2 percent. Overall, 16.2 percent of\r\nemployed Gulf War-era II veterans worked for the federal government, compared with 2.1 percent\r\nof nonveterans. (See table 5.) \r\n\r\nIn August 2025, 39 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq, Afghanistan,\r\nor both locations. The unemployment rate for these veterans, at 3.4 percent, changed little\r\nover the year. The rate for Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere (2.3 percent in\r\nAugust 2025) also changed little over the year. (See table 10.)\r\n\r\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\r\n\r\nIn August 2025, 5.8 million veterans, or 34 percent of all veterans, had a service-connected\r\ndisability. Veterans with a service-connected disability are assigned a disability rating by\r\nthe U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of Defense. Ratings range from\r\n0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points, depending on the severity of the\r\ncondition. (See table 7.) \r\n\r\nOver the year, the unemployment rate for veterans with a service-connected disability\r\ndecreased by 1.7 percentage points to 2.4 percent in August 2025. The rate for veterans with\r\nno service-connected disability was little changed at 3.7 percent. The unemployment rates for\r\nboth male veterans with a service-connected disability (2.1 percent) and female veterans with\r\na service-connected disability (3.8 percent) showed little change over the year.\r\n\r\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability in August 2025, 17 percent had a disability\r\nrating of less than 30 percent, while 59 percent had a rating of 60 percent or higher. The\r\nunemployment rate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30 percent was 1.6\r\npercent, little different than the rate for those with a disability rating of 60 percent or\r\nhigher, at 3.0 percent.\r\n\r\nIn August 2025, 50 percent (2.8 million) of veterans who served during Gulf War-era II\r\nreported a service-connected disability. The labor force participation rate of Gulf War-era II\r\nveterans with a service-connected disability (71.3 percent) was lower than the rate for their\r\ncounterparts with no service-connected disability (84.5 percent). Among Gulf War-era II\r\nveterans, the unemployment rate for those with a service-connected disability (2.3 percent)\r\nwas not statistically different than the rate for those with no disability (3.2 percent). \r\n\r\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected disability, 70 percent reported a\r\ndisability rating of 60 percent or higher in August 2025. Gulf War-era II veterans who\r\nreported a disability rating of less than 30 percent were more likely to be in the labor force\r\nthan those with a rating of 60 percent or higher (85.1 percent compared with 64.7 percent). \r\n\r\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability work in the\r\npublic sector. In August 2025, 38.7 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected\r\ndisability worked in federal, state, or local government, compared with 20.2 percent of\r\nveterans with no disability and 13.0 percent of nonveterans. Nearly one-fourth (23.2 percent) \r\nof employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked for the federal government,\r\ncompared with 8.6 percent of veterans with no service-connected disability and 2.1 percent of\r\nnonveterans. (See table 8.)\r\n\r\nReserve and National Guard Membership\r\n\r\nIn August 2025, over one-third (2.0 million) of Gulf War-era II veterans were current or past\r\nmembers of the Reserve or National Guard. The labor force participation rate for veterans of\r\nthis period who were current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard (77.0 percent)\r\nwas not statistically different than the rate for veterans who had never been members (78.5\r\npercent). Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rates for those who were current or\r\npast members of the Reserve or National Guard (1.8 percent) and for those who had never been\r\nmembers (3.1 percent) were not statistically different from each other and were little changed\r\nfrom a year earlier. (See table 9.)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n

\n\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Gulf War-era II veterans served on active duty anywhere in the world sometime since September 2001. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Effective with data for January 2023, estimates for veterans incorporate population controls derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs population model. Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n
<\/p>\n
\nTechnical Note \r\n   \r\nThe data in this news release were collected through the Current Population Survey (CPS).\r\nThe CPS--a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by the U.S. Census\r\nBureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics--obtains information on employment and unemployment\r\namong the nation's civilian noninstitutional population age 16 and over.\r\n\r\nMost of the data in this news release are annual averages, compiled from the results of the\r\nmonthly survey. In August, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information about veterans\r\non topics such as service-connected disability, veterans' Reserve or National Guard status, and\r\nveterans who served in Iraq and\/or Afghanistan. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S.\r\nDepartment of Veterans Affairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and\r\nTraining Service. Questions were asked of people 17 years of age and older regarding their prior\r\nservice in the U.S. Armed Forces. Data are tabulated for people 18 years of age and older.\r\n\r\nIf you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1 to access\r\ntelecommunications relay services.\r\n   \r\nDefinitions\r\n\r\nThe definitions underlying the data in this news release are as follows:\r\n\r\nVeterans are men and women who previously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who\r\nwere civilians at the time they were surveyed. Members of the Reserve and National Guard are\r\ncounted as veterans if they had ever been called to active duty. People who are on active duty at\r\nthe time of the survey are outside the scope of the survey and thus not in the estimates shown\r\nhere, as are people who reside in institutions, such as nursing homes and prisons.\r\n\r\nWorld War II, Korean War, Vietnam-era, and Gulf War-era veterans are men and women who served in\r\nthe U.S. Armed Forces during these periods of service, regardless of where in the world they served.\r\nVeterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one.\r\n\r\nVeterans of other service periods are men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time\r\nother than World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam era, or the Gulf War era. Although U.S. Armed \r\nForces were engaged in several armed conflicts during other service periods, these conflicts were\r\nmore limited in scope and included a smaller proportion of the Armed Forces than the selected wartime\r\nperiods. Veterans who served during one of the selected wartime periods and during another period are\r\nclassified in the wartime period.\r\n\r\nNonveterans are men and women who never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.\r\n\r\nVeteran status is obtained from responses to the question, \"Did you ever serve on active duty in the\r\nU.S. Armed Forces?\"\r\n\r\nPeriod of service identifies when a veteran served in the Armed Forces, but not the location of their\r\nservice. It is obtained from answers to the question asked of veterans, \"When did you serve on active\r\nduty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\" The following service periods are identified:\r\n\r\nGulf War era II -- September 2001-present\r\nGulf War era I -- August 1990-August 2001\r\nVietnam era -- August 1964-April 1975\r\nKorean War -- July 1950-January 1955\r\nWorld War II -- December 1941-December 1946\r\nOther service periods -- All other time periods\r\n\r\nVeterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service. Veterans are counted\r\nonly in one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one\r\nwartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and\r\nany other service period are classified in the wartime period. The period-of-service definitions are\r\nmodified occasionally to reflect changes in law, regulations, and program needs of the survey sponsors.\r\n\r\nVeterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both are individuals who served in Iraq at any time since\r\nMarch 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001, or in both locations. Service in Iraq or\r\nAfghanistan is determined by answers to two questions: \"Did you serve in Iraq, off the coast of Iraq, \r\nor did you fly missions over Iraq at any time since March 2003?\" and \"Did you serve in Afghanistan, or\r\ndid you fly missions over Afghanistan, at any time since October 2001?\"\r\n\r\nPresence of service-connected disability is determined by answers to two questions beginning in August\r\n2021: \"Have you filed a claim for or received a rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs or the\r\nDepartment of Defense confirming that you have a service-connected disability; that is, a health condition\r\nor impairment caused or made worse by military service?\u00c2\u0094 and (asked of those who said yes) \u00c2\u0093Did you\r\nreceive a VA disability rating?\u00c2\u0094 People who applied for and received a service-connected disability rating\r\nare classified as having a service-connected disability. People who applied for but did not receive a\r\nservice-connected disability rating are classified as without a service-connected disability.\r\n\r\nService-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, \"What is your current VA \r\nservice-connected disability rating?\" Answers can range from 0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage\r\npoints. Ratings are determined by the VA or DoD from a rating schedule published in the Code of Federal\r\nRegulations, Title 38, \"Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief,\" Part 4--\"Schedule for Rating Disabilities.\"\r\nThe rating schedule is \"primarily a guide in the evaluation of disability resulting from all types of\r\ndiseases and injuries encountered as a result of or incident to military service. The percentage ratings\r\nrepresent as far as can practicably be determined the average impairment in earning capacity resulting\r\nfrom such diseases and injuries and their residual conditions in civil occupations.\" Part 4 contains a \r\nlisting of hundreds of possible disorders and assigns ratings of 0 through 100 percent, with instructions\r\nfor rating multiple disorders.\r\n\r\nReserve and National Guard membership refers only to Gulf War-era veterans who are current or past members\r\nof the Reserve or National Guard. Members of the Reserve and National Guard are counted as veterans if\r\nthey had ever been called to active duty. These data do not refer to all people who may have ever served in\r\nthe Reserve or National Guard. Beginning in August 2021, Reserve or National Guard status is obtained from\r\nanswers to the question asked of veterans, \u00c2\u0093Have you ever been a member of the Reserve or National Guard?\u00c2\u0094 \r\n\r\nReliability of the estimates\r\n\r\nStatistics based on the CPS are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. When a sample, rather \r\nthan the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance that the sample estimates will differ from \r\nthe true population values they represent. The component of this difference that occurs because samples\r\ndiffer by chance is known as sampling error, and its variability is measured by the standard error of the\r\nestimate. There is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, that an estimate based on a sample\r\nwill differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors from the true population value because of sampling error.\r\nBLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent level of confidence.\r\n\r\nThe CPS data also are affected by nonsampling error. Nonsampling error can occur for many reasons, \r\nincluding the failure to sample a segment of the population, the inability to obtain information for\r\nall respondents in the sample, the inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct \r\ninformation, and errors made in the collection or processing of the data.\r\n\r\nInformation about the reliability of national data from the CPS and instructions on how to generate\r\nstandard errors are available at www.bls.gov\/cps\/methods\/reliability-of-CPS-estimates.htm.\r\n\r\nFor a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as those in tables 6A and\r\n6B of this news release, see www.bls.gov\/opub\/geographic-profile\/home.htm.\r\n\r\nComparability of the estimates\r\n\r\nEffective with data for January 2025, estimates for veterans incorporate population controls derived\r\nfrom a new Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Population Projection Model (VetPop2023). In\r\naccordance with usual practice, BLS did not revise estimates for previous years. Information about\r\nthe Veteran Population Projection Model is available from the Department of Veterans Affairs at\r\nwww.data.va.gov\/dataset\/VetPop2023-A-Brief-Description\/rwgn-ekjg\/about_data.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n

\n\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. Estimates for the above race groups (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. People whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 35,000). Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\n\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 35,000). Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\n\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 35,000). Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\n\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 35,000). Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\n\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Nonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 35,000). Effective with January 2025 data, industries reflect the introduction of the 2022 Census industry classification system, derived from the 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). No historical data have been revised. Data for 2025 are not strictly comparable with earlier years. Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.) As a result, 2025 annual estimates are not strictly comparable with annual averages for other years.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\n\t\tNOTE:  Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria. Annual estimates for 2025 are 11-month averages that exclude October. (Data for October 2025 were not collected due to the federal government shutdown.)

NOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. A service-connected disability is a health condition or impairment caused or made worse by military service. The associated disability rating, which can range from 0 to 100 percent, is determined from a rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, “Title 38.” More information appears in the Technical Note of this release. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 75,000).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\t\t\t\t\tNOTE: Veterans are men and women who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey. The Gulf War era began in August 1990 and continues to the present day. It is divided into two periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present) and Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most recent period. Data do not include Reserve and National Guard members who have never been called to Active Duty.
