Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h1>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (ET) Wednesday, March 20, 2024              \t           USDL-24-0544\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 -- 2023\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 3.3 percent in 2023 and the rate for all veterans was unchanged at 2.8 percent, the U.S.\r\nBureau of Labor Statistics reported today. In August 2023, 46 percent of Gulf War-era II\r\nveterans had a service-connected disability, compared with 30 percent of all veterans. \r\n\r\nThis information was obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample survey\r\nof about 60,000 eligible households that provides data on employment, unemployment, and persons\r\nnot in the labor force in the United States. Data about veterans are collected monthly in the\r\nCPS; these monthly data are the source of the 2023 annual averages presented in this news\r\nrelease. In August 2023, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information about \r\nveterans on topics such as service-connected disability and veterans' current or past Reserve\r\nor National Guard membership. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of \r\nVeterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service.\r\nFor more information, see the Technical Note in this news release. \r\n\r\nHighlights from the 2023 data:\r\n\r\n --The unemployment rate for all veterans (2.8 percent) was lower than the rate for nonveterans\r\n   (3.6 percent) in 2023. (See table A.)\r\n\r\n --The unemployment rate for male veterans (2.7 percent) was lower than for female veterans \r\n   (3.2 percent) in 2023. Both measures were little changed over the year. (See table A.)\r\n\r\n --Unemployment rates for White, Black, and Hispanic veterans were lower than for nonveterans\r\n   in 2023, while the rate for Asian veterans was not statistically different than their\r\n   nonveteran counterparts. (See table 1.)\r\n\r\n --Among the 241,000 unemployed veterans in 2023, 60 percent were ages 25 to 54, 34 percent\r\n   were age 55 and over, and 6 percent were ages 18 to 24. (See table 2A.)\r\n\r\n --In August 2023, the unemployment rate of Gulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected\r\n   disability rose by 3.0 percentage points over the year to 6.4 percent, and the rate for\r\n   veterans without a service-connected disability increased by 2.1 percentage points to 4.0\r\n   percent. (See table 7.)\r\n\r\n --Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a service-connected disability rating of less than\r\n   30 percent in August 2023 were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with \r\n   a rating of 60 percent or higher (83.0 percent versus 67.9 percent). (See table 7.)\r\n\r\n --In August 2023, 31.4 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected disability \r\n   worked in the public sector, compared with 20.0 percent of veterans with no disability and\r\n   12.5 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\r\n\r\nThe Veteran Population\r\n\r\nIn 2023, 17.9 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 7 percent of the\r\ncivilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. Of all veterans, about 11 percent were\r\nwomen. In the survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have previously served on\r\nactive duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at the time these data were \r\ncollected. \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 World War II, the\r\nKorean War, and the Vietnam era, all of whom are now over age 65. Veterans who served during\r\nthese wartime periods accounted for one-third (6.0 million) of the total veteran population\r\nin 2023. Forty-five percent of veterans (8.0 million) served during Gulf War era I (August\r\n1990 to August 2001) or Gulf War era II (September 2001 to present). Another 22 percent (3.9\r\nmillion) served outside these designated wartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\r\n\r\nThe unemployment rates for veteran men (2.7 percent) and women (3.2 percent) changed little\r\nin 2023. In comparison to nonveteran men and women, the unemployment rate for veteran men was\r\nlower than their nonveteran counterparts, while the rate for veteran women was little\r\ndifferent from that of their nonveteran counterparts. Unemployment rates for White (2.7 \r\npercent), Black (3.3 percent), Asian (2.5 percent), and Hispanic (2.9 percent) veterans were\r\nalso little changed over the year and were not statistically different from each other in\r\n2023.\r\n\r\nGulf War-era II Veterans \r\n\r\nIn 2023, there were 5.0 million veterans who had served during Gulf War era II (September 2001\r\nto present). Eighteen percent of these veterans were women, compared with about 4 percent of\r\nveterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. (See tables 1 and 2A.) \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans was little changed at 3.3 percent in 2023.\r\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rates for men and women were little changed\r\nover the year and not statistically different from each other (3.2 percent and 3.4 percent,\r\nrespectively). (See table A.) \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 3.2 percent, was lower than the\r\nrate for male nonveterans, at 3.8 percent, in 2023. By age, unemployment rates for male Gulf\r\nWar-era II veterans and male nonveterans were not statistically different. (See table 2B.) \r\n\r\nThe unemployment rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans, at 3.4 percent, was the same as\r\nthe rate for female nonveterans in 2023. By age, unemployment rates for female Gulf War-era\r\nII veterans and nonveterans were not statistically different. (See table 2C.)\r\n\r\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veteran men were more likely to work in management, professional,\r\nand related occupations (42.4 percent) than were employed nonveteran men (39.8 percent). These\r\nveterans were also more likely to work in service occupations than their nonveteran\r\ncounterparts (14.4 percent and 12.7 percent, respectively). Male veterans from Gulf War-era\r\nII were less likely to work in sales and office occupations than their nonveteran counterparts\r\n(11.8 percent and 14.0 percent, respectively) and less likely to work in production, \r\ntransportation, and material moving occupations (15.4 percent and 17.5 percent, respectively).\r\nFor women, employed Gulf War-era II veterans were less likely to work in service occupations\r\nthan their nonveteran counterparts (14.6 percent and 19.4 percent, respectively). Veteran \r\nwomen from this period of service were more likely to work in natural resources, construction,\r\nand maintenance occupations, at 2.3 percent, than nonveteran women at 1.1 percent. (See table\r\n4.)\r\n\r\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veteran men were more than twice as likely to work in the public\r\nsector in 2023 as their employed nonveteran counterparts--25.7 percent versus 10.2 percent.\r\nEmployed female Gulf War-era II veterans were nearly twice as likely to work in the public\r\nsector than nonveteran women--30.3 percent versus 16.2 percent. Overall, among employed Gulf\r\nWar-era II veterans, 14.3 percent worked for the federal government, compared with 2.2 percent\r\nof nonveterans. (See table 5.) \r\n\r\nIn August 2023, 39 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq, Afghanistan,\r\nor both locations. The unemployment rate for these veterans rose by 2.5 percentage points to\r\n4.8 percent in August 2023. The rate for Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere \r\nincreased by 2.4 percentage points to 4.8 percent in August 2023. (See table 10.)\r\n\r\nGulf War-era I Veterans\r\n\r\nIn 2023, of the 3.0 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August\r\n2001), 15 percent were women. The overall unemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans was\r\n2.3 percent in 2023, little changed from the prior year. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\r\n\r\nIn 2023, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era I veterans (2.4 percent) was lower than\r\nthat of male Gulf War-era II veterans (3.2 percent). The difference in unemployment rates\r\nreflects, at least in part, the older age profile of veterans who served during Gulf War era\r\nI. Younger people--whether veterans or nonveterans--tend to have higher unemployment rates\r\nthan older people. The rate for female Gulf War-era I veterans (2.1 percent) was not \r\nstatistically different than the rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans (3.4 percent). (See\r\ntables 2B and 2C.)\r\n\r\nVeterans of Other Service Periods \r\n\r\nIn 2023, 3.9 million veterans had served on active duty during \"other service periods,\"mainly\r\nbetween the Korean War and the Vietnam era and between the Vietnam era and Gulf War era I. In\r\n2023, about 1 in 10 veterans of other service periods were women. (See tables 1 and 2C.) \r\n\r\nThe jobless rate for veterans of other service periods, at 2.4 percent, changed little in 2023.\r\nAmong these veterans, the unemployment rate for Black or African Americans declined by 2.4\r\npercentage points to 2.0 percent. All other major demographic groups of these veterans showed\r\nlittle change over the year. (See table 1.)\r\n\r\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\r\n\r\nIn August 2023, 5.3 million veterans, or 30 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 rose by\r\n2.4 percentage points to 6.0 percent in August 2023. The rate for veterans with no service-\r\nconnected disability changed little, at 3.1 percent, and was lower than the rate for veterans\r\nwith a service-connected disability. The unemployment rate for male veterans with a service-\r\nconnected disability (4.8 percent) changed little over the year. By contrast, the rate for \r\nfemale veterans with a service-connected disability, which tends to show more variability, \r\nrose by 9.1 percentage points to 12.3 percent. \r\n\r\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability in August 2023, 20 percent had a disability\r\nrating of less than 30 percent, while 56 percent had a rating of 60 percent or higher. \r\nVeterans with a service-connected disability rating of less than 30 percent were more likely\r\nto be in the labor force than those with a rating of 60 percent or higher (56.3 percent versus\r\n46.3 percent). The unemployment rate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30\r\npercent was 8.9 percent, not statistically different than the rate for those with a disability\r\nrating of 60 percent or higher, at 5.7 percent.\r\n\r\nIn August 2023, 46 percent (2.4 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\r\nII veterans with a service-connected disability (73.0 percent) was much lower than the rate\r\nfor veterans from this period with no service-connected disability (86.8 percent). Among Gulf\r\nWar-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for those with a service-connected disability (6.4\r\npercent) was not statistically different than the rate for those with no disability (4.0\r\npercent). \r\n\r\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected disability, 65 percent reported a\r\ndisability rating of 60 percent or higher in August 2023. Gulf War-era II veterans who \r\nreported a disability rating of less than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor\r\nforce than those with a rating of 60 percent or higher (83.0 percent compared with 67.9\r\npercent). The unemployment rate for veterans of this service period with a disability rating\r\nof less than 30 percent was 4.7 percent in August 2023, not statistically different than the\r\nrate for those with a disability rating of 60 percent or higher, at 6.9 percent.\r\n\r\nIn August 2023, 31 percent (907,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War era I reported\r\na service-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate (59.8 percent) was lower\r\nthan the rate for Gulf War-era I veterans who did not have a service-connected disability \r\n(78.6 percent). The unemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans with a service-connected\r\ndisability (5.6 percent) was higher than the rate for those without a service-connected\r\ndisability (1.4 percent).\r\n\r\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability work in\r\nthe public sector. In August 2023, 31.4 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected\r\ndisability worked in federal, state, or local government, compared with 20.0 percent of\r\nveterans with no disability and 12.5 percent of nonveterans. Nineteen percent of employed \r\nveterans with a service-connected disability worked for the federal government, compared \r\nwith 7.9 percent of veterans with no disability and 2.2 percent of nonveterans. (See table\r\n8.)\r\n\r\nReserve and National Guard Membership\r\n\r\nIn August 2023, one-third (1.7 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 (82.7 percent)\r\nwas not statistically different from the rate for veterans who had never been members (78.6\r\npercent). Among Gulf War-era II veterans, those who were current or past members of the \r\nReserve or National Guard had an unemployment rate of 4.2 percent, little changed from a year\r\nearlier, while the rate for those who had never been members rose to 5.3 percent. (See table\r\n9.)\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.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n
<\/p>\n
\nTechnical Note\r\n\r\n   The data in this news release were collected through the Current Population Survey\r\n(CPS). The CPS--a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by the\r\nU.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics--obtains information on\r\nemployment and unemployment among the nation's civilian noninstitutional population\r\nage 16 and over.\r\n\r\n   Most of the data in this news release are annual averages, compiled from the results\r\nof the monthly survey. In August, a supplement to the CPS collected additional \r\ninformation about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability, veterans'\r\nReserve or National Guard status, and veterans who served in Iraq and\/or Afghanistan.\r\nThe supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by \r\nthe U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. Questions\r\nwere asked of people 17 years of age and older regarding their prior service in the\r\nU.S. Armed Forces. Data are tabulated for people 18 years of age and older.\r\n\r\n   If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1\r\nto access telecommunications relay services.\r\n\r\nDefinitions\r\n\r\n   The definitions underlying the data in this news release are as follows:\r\n\r\n   Veterans are men and women who previously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed\r\nForces and who were civilians at the time they were surveyed. Members of the Reserve\r\nand National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to active \r\nduty. People who are on active duty at the time of the survey are outside the scope\r\nof the survey and thus not in the estimates shown here, as are people who reside in\r\ninstitutions, such as nursing homes and prisons.\r\n   \r\n   World War II, Korean War, Vietnam-era, and Gulf War-era veterans are men and \r\nwomen who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during these periods of service, \r\nregardless of where in the world they served. Veterans who served in more than one\r\nwartime period are classified in the most recent one.\r\n\r\n   Veterans of other service periods are men and women who served in the U.S. Armed\r\nForces at any time other than World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam era, or the\r\nGulf War era. Although U.S. Armed Forces were engaged in several armed conflicts \r\nduring other service periods, these conflicts were more limited in scope and included\r\na smaller proportion of the Armed Forces than the selected wartime periods. Veterans\r\nwho served during one of the selected wartime periods and during another period are\r\nclassified in the wartime period.\r\n\r\n   Nonveterans are men and women who never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed\r\nForces.\r\n\r\n   Veteran status is obtained from responses to the question, \"Did you ever serve on\r\nactive duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\"\r\n\r\n   Period of service identifies when a veteran served in the Armed Forces, but not \r\nthe location of their service. It is obtained from answers to the question asked of\r\nveterans, \"When did you serve on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\" The following\r\nservice periods are identified:\r\n\r\n      Gulf War era II -- September 2001-present\r\n      Gulf War era I -- August 1990-August 2001\r\n      Vietnam era -- August 1964-April 1975\r\n      Korean War -- July 1950-January 1955\r\n      World War II -- December 1941-December 1946\r\n      Other service periods -- All other time periods\r\n\r\n   Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service.\r\nVeterans are counted only in one period of service, their most recent wartime \r\nperiod. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the \r\nmost recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service\r\nperiod 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 \r\nthe survey sponsors.\r\n\r\n   Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both are individuals who served in\r\nIraq at any time since March 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001, or\r\nin both locations. Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is determined by answers to two \r\nquestions: \"Did you serve in Iraq, off the coast of Iraq, or did you fly missions \r\nover Iraq at any time since March 2003?\" and \"Did you serve in Afghanistan, or did \r\nyou fly missions over Afghanistan, at any time since October 2001?\"\r\n\r\n   Presence of service-connected disability is determined by answers to two questions\r\nbeginning in August 2021: \"Have you filed a claim for or received a rating from the\r\nDepartment of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense confirming that you have\r\na service-connected disability; that is, a health condition or impairment caused or\r\nmade worse by military service?\" and (asked of those who said yes) \"Did you receive\r\na VA disability rating?\"  People who applied for and received a service-connected \r\ndisability rating are classified as having a service-connected disability. People \r\nwho applied for but did not receive a service-connected disability rating are \r\nclassified as without a service-connected disability.\r\n\r\n   Service-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, \"What\r\nis your current VA service-connected disability rating?\" Answers can range from 0 \r\nto 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points. Ratings are determined by \r\nthe VA or DoD from a rating schedule published in the Code of Federal Regulations,\r\nTitle 38, \"Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief,\" Part 4--\"Schedule for Rating \r\nDisabilities.\" The rating schedule is \"primarily a guide in the evaluation of \r\ndisability resulting from all types of diseases and injuries encountered as a result\r\nof or incident to military service. The percentage ratings represent as far as can\r\npracticably be determined the average impairment in earning capacity resulting from\r\nsuch diseases and injuries and their residual conditions in civil occupations.\" \r\nPart 4 contains a listing of hundreds of possible disorders and assigns ratings of\r\n0 through 100 percent, with instructions for rating multiple disorders.\r\n\r\n   Reserve and National Guard membership refers only to Gulf War-era veterans who\r\nare current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Members of the \r\nReserve and National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to\r\nactive duty. These data do not refer to all people who may have ever served in the\r\nReserve or National Guard. Beginning in August 2021, Reserve or National Guard \r\nstatus is obtained from answers to the question asked of veterans, \"Have you ever\r\nbeen a member of the Reserve or National Guard?\" \r\n\r\nReliability of the estimates\r\n\r\n   Statistics based on the CPS are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error.\r\nWhen a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance\r\nthat the sample estimates will differ from the true population values they \r\nrepresent. The component of this difference that occurs because samples differ by\r\nchance is known as sampling error, and its variability is measured by the standard\r\nerror of the estimate. There is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, \r\nthat an estimate based on a sample will differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors \r\nfrom the true population value because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally\r\nconducted at the 90-percent level of confidence.\r\n\r\n   The CPS data also are affected by nonsampling error. Nonsampling error can occur\r\nfor many reasons, including the failure to sample a segment of the population, the\r\ninability to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, the inability or\r\nunwillingness of respondents to provide correct information, and errors made in the\r\ncollection or processing of the data.\r\n\r\n   Information about the reliability of national data from the CPS and instructions\r\non how to generate standard errors are available at \r\nwww.bls.gov\/cps\/documentation.htm#reliability.\r\n\r\n   For a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as \r\nthose in tables 6A and 6B of this news release, see \r\nwww.bls.gov\/opub\/geographic-profile\/home.htm.\r\n\r\nComparability of the estimates\r\n\r\n   Effective with data for January 2023, estimates for veterans incorporate \r\npopulation controls derived from a new Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran\r\nPopulation Projection Model (VetPop2020). In accordance with usual practice, BLS \r\ndid not revise estimates for previous years. Information about the Veteran \r\nPopulation Projection Model is available from the Department of Veterans Affairs at\r\nwww.va.gov\/vetdata\/docs\/Demographics\/New_Vetpop_Model\/VetPop2020_A_Brief_Description.pdf.\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. Persons 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).<\/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).<\/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.

Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period.

\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).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

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 news 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

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.
