Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h1>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (ET) Thursday, April 21, 2022                           USDL-22-0675\n\nTechnical information:  (202) 691-6378  *  cpsinfo@bls.gov  *  www.bls.gov\/cps \nMedia contact:          (202) 691-5902  *  PressOffice@bls.gov\n\n\n\t\t\t EMPLOYMENT SITUATION OF VETERANS -- 2021\n\n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at\nany time since September 2001--a group referred to as Gulf War-era II veterans--declined\nto 4.6 percent in 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The jobless\nrate for all veterans decreased to 4.4 percent in 2021. In August 2021, 44 percent of \nGulf War-era II veterans had a service-connected disability, compared with 27 percent of\nall veterans. \n\nThis information was obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample\nsurvey of about 60,000 eligible households that provides data on employment, unemployment,\nand persons not in the labor force in the United States. Data about veterans are collected\nmonthly in the CPS; these monthly data are the source of the 2021 annual averages \npresented in this news release. In August 2021, a supplement to the CPS collected \nadditional information about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability and\nveterans' current or past Reserve or National Guard membership. The supplement was \nco-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Labor's\nVeterans' Employment and Training Service. For more information, see the Technical Note in\nthis news release. \n\nHighlights from the 2021 data:\n\n --The unemployment rate for all veterans (4.4 percent) was lower than the rate for \n   nonveterans (5.3 percent) in 2021. (See table A.)\n\n --Unemployment rates for both male and female veterans decreased in 2021. The rate for\n   male veterans was 4.4 percent, little different from the rate of 4.2 percent for female\n   veterans. (See table A.)\n\n --Unemployment rates declined over the year for veterans of all service periods: Gulf \n   War-era II veterans (to 4.6 percent in 2021); Gulf War-era I veterans (3.5 percent); \n   World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam era veterans (4.4 percent); and veterans of other \n   service periods (5.0 percent). However, these rates remain above their levels in 2019,\n   prior to the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. (See table 1.)\n\n --Unemployment rates for White and Black veterans were lower than for their nonveteran\n   counterparts in 2021, while the rates for Asian and Hispanic veterans were not \n   statistically different than their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 1.)\n\n --Among the 386,000 unemployed veterans in 2021, 56 percent were ages 25 to 54, 39 \n   percent were age 55 and over, and 5 percent were ages 18 to 24. (See table 2A.)\n\n --Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate of veterans with a service-\n   connected disability declined to 3.2 percent and the rate for veterans with no \n   disability decreased to 3.6 percent in August 2021. (See table 7.)\n\n --Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a service-connected disability rating of less\n   than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with a \n   rating of 60 percent or higher in August 2021 (94.4 percent compared with 63.8 \n   percent). (See table 7.)\n\n --In August 2021, 27 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected disability\n   worked in the public sector, compared with 21 percent of veterans with no disability\n   and 13 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\n --In 2021, the unemployment rate of veterans varied across the country, ranging from\n   1.6 percent in Kentucky to 7.6 percent in Washington. (See table 6A.)\n\nThe Veteran Population\n\nIn 2021, 18.5 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 7 percent of \nthe civilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. Of all veterans, about 1 in\n10 were women. In the survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have previously\nserved on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at the time these\ndata were collected. Veterans are much more likely to be men than are nonveterans, and\nthey also tend to be older. In part, this reflects the characteristics of veterans who\nserved during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, all of whom are now \nover 60 years old. Veterans who served during these wartime periods accounted for about\n36 percent (6.6 million) of the total veteran population in 2021. Forty-two percent of\nveterans (7.9 million) served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August 2001) or \nGulf War era II (September 2001 to present). Twenty-two percent (4.1 million) served \noutside the designated wartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nGulf War-era II Veterans \n\nIn 2021, there were 4.7 million veterans who had served during Gulf War era II (September\n2001 to present). Seventeen percent of these veterans were women, compared with about 4\npercent of veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. Two-thirds of\nall Gulf War-era II veterans were between the ages of 25 and 44. (See tables 1 and 2A.) \n\nIn 2021, the unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans was 4.6 percent, down \nconsiderably from the rate in 2020 (7.3 percent) but up from 2019 (3.5 percent), prior to\nthe COVID-19 pandemic. Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rates for men and\nwomen both declined in 2021 (to 4.6 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively). These rates \nwere not statistically different from each other. (See table A.) \n\nThe unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 4.6 percent, was lower than \nthe rate for male nonveterans, at 5.5 percent, in 2021. By age, unemployment rates for \nmale Gulf War-era II veterans and nonveterans were not statistically different, with one\nexception: 45- to 54-year-old male Gulf War-era II veterans had an unemployment rate of\n2.6 percent, lower than the rate of 4.2 percent for their nonveteran counterparts. \n(See table 2B.) \n\nThe unemployment rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans was 4.9 percent in 2021, not \nstatistically different from the rate for female nonveterans (5.1 percent). By age, \nunemployment rates for female Gulf War-era II veterans and nonveterans were not \nstatistically different. (See table 2C.)\n\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veterans were twice as likely to work in the public sector in\n2021 as employed nonveterans--27 percent versus 13 percent. Among the employed, 15 \npercent of Gulf War-era II veterans worked for the federal government, compared with \n2 percent of nonveterans. (See table 5.) \n\nIn August 2021, 41 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq, \nAfghanistan, or both locations. These veterans had an unemployment rate of 2.6 percent,\nnot statistically different than the rate for Gulf War-era II veterans who served \nelsewhere (3.6 percent). (See table 10.)\n\nGulf War-era I Veterans\n\nIn 2021, of the 3.2 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to\nAugust 2001), the proportion who were women (16 percent) was similar to that for Gulf\nWar-era II veterans (17 percent). All Gulf War-era I veterans were age 35 and over in \n2021, compared with 62 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans. Forty-eight percent of Gulf \nWar-era I veterans were ages 45 to 54, 26 percent were ages 55 to 64, 15 percent were \nages 35 to 44, and 11 percent were age 65 and over. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nThe unemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans was 3.5 percent in 2021, down by 1.3 \npercentage points from 2020. The jobless rate for Gulf War-era I veterans in 2021 was \nabove its pre-pandemic rate of 2.6 percent in 2019. \n\nIn 2021, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era I veterans (3.6 percent) was lower \nthan that of their Gulf War-era II counterparts (4.6 percent). The difference in \nunemployment rates reflects, at least in part, the older age profile of veterans who \nserved during Gulf War era I. Younger people--whether veterans or nonveterans--tend to \nhave higher unemployment rates than older people. The rate for female Gulf War-era I \nveterans (3.0 percent) was lower than the rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans (4.9 \npercent). Among Gulf War-era I veterans, the unemployment rate declined for both men and\nwomen in 2021; the rates for men and women were not statistically different. (See tables\n2B and 2C.)\n\nVeterans of Other Service Periods \n\nIn 2021, 4.1 million veterans had served on active duty during \"other service periods,\" \nmainly between the Korean War and the Vietnam era and between the Vietnam era and Gulf \nWar era I. All veterans from this period of service were age 45 and over at the time of\nthe survey. Fifty percent of these veterans were ages 55 to 64, 42 percent were age 65\nand over, and 8 percent were ages 45 to 54. In 2021, 1 in 10 veterans of other service \nperiods were women. (See table 2A.) \n\nThe jobless rate for veterans of other service periods declined over the year to 5.0 \npercent in 2021 but remains higher than the rate in 2019 (3.0 percent). Among veterans\nof other service periods, the unemployment rate for men (5.1 percent) was not \nstatistically different from the rate for women (4.2 percent) in 2021. The jobless rate\nfor male veterans of other service periods declined over the year, while the rate for \nwomen was little different from the prior year. (See table 1.)\n\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\n\nIn August 2021, 4.9 million veterans, or 27 percent of the total, had a service-\nconnected disability. Veterans with a service-connected disability are assigned a \ndisability rating by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of \nDefense. Ratings range from 0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points, \ndepending on the severity of the condition. (See table 7.) \n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans with a service-connected disability declined by 2.8 \npercentage points to 3.4 percent in August 2021. The rate for veterans with no \ndisability declined to 4.1 percent and was not statistically different from the rate for\nveterans with a service-connected disability. The unemployment rates for male and female\nveterans with a service-connected disability also declined over the year to 3.5 percent\nand 2.8 percent, respectively, in August 2021. These rates were not statistically \ndifferent from each other. The labor force participation rate for veterans with a \nservice-connected disability (49.7 percent) was higher than the rate for veterans with\nno disability (44.9 percent). \n\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability, 23 percent reported a disability \nrating of less than 30 percent, while 47 percent had a rating of 60 percent or higher. \nIn August 2021, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of less than 30 \npercent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with a rating of 60 \npercent or higher (56.9 percent versus 43.0 percent). The unemployment rate for veterans\nwith a disability rating of less than 30 percent was 4.1 percent, little different than\nthe rate for those with a disability rating of 60 percent or higher, at 4.3 percent.\n\nAmong veterans who served during Gulf War era II, 44 percent (2.0 million) reported a\nservice-connected disability in August 2021. The labor force participation rate of all\nGulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected disability was 72.9 percent, lower than\nthe rate for veterans from this period with no service-connected disability (84.3\npercent). Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for those with a service-\nconnected disability was 3.2 percent, not statistically different from those with no \ndisability (3.6 percent). \n\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected disability, 15 percent reported\na disability rating of less than 30 percent and 56 percent reported a disability rating\nof 60 percent or higher in August 2021. Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a \ndisability rating of less than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force\nthan those with a rating of 60 percent or higher (94.4 percent compared with 63.8 \npercent). The unemployment rate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30\npercent was 4.9 percent in August 2021, not statistically different than the rate for\nthose with a disability rating of 60 percent or higher, at 3.7 percent.\n\nIn August 2021, 31 percent (932,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War era I \nreported a service-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate (63.3 \npercent) was lower than the rate for Gulf War-era I veterans who did not have a service-\nconnected disability (78.6 percent). The unemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans \nwith a service-connected disability (2.1 percent) was lower than the rate for those \nwithout a service-connected disability (4.5 percent).\n\nFourteen percent (540,000) of veterans who served during other service periods reported\na service-connected disability in August 2021. The labor force participation rate of \nthese veterans (35.4 percent) was lower than their counterparts without a service-\nconnected disability (41.2 percent). The unemployment rates were not statistically\ndifferent for veterans with a service-connected disability (8.7 percent) and those with\nno disability (5.1 percent).\n\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability \nworked in the public sector. In August 2021, 27 percent of employed veterans with a \nservice-connected disability worked in federal, state, or local government, compared \nwith 21 percent of veterans with no disability and 13 percent of nonveterans. Eighteen\npercent of employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked for the federal \ngovernment, compared with 9 percent of veterans with no disability and 2 percent of\nnonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\nReserve and National Guard Membership\n\nIn August 2021, 37 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans were current or past members of\nthe Reserve or National Guard. The labor force participation rate was higher for \nveterans of this period who were current or past members of the Reserve or National \nGuard (82.8 percent) than for veterans who had never been members (77.1 percent). Among\nGulf War-era II veterans, those who were current or past members of the Reserve or\nNational Guard had an unemployment rate (2.0 percent) that was lower than the rate for\nthose who had never been members (4.0 percent). (See table 9.)\n\n\n _______________________________________________________________________________________\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|\n|                      Adjustments to Veteran Population Estimates                      |\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|\n| Effective with data for January 2021, estimates for veterans incorporate population \t|\n| controls derived from the Department of Veterans Affairs' new veteran population \t|\n| model.

Veterans \t|\n| whose service included the Vietnam era were asked the questions, even if they also \t|\n| served in earlier periods. Missing data for individuals whose service ended before \t|\n| August 1964 were imputed using information collected in the August 2020 Veterans \t|\n| Supplement. This imputation had a limited effect on the overall estimates of veterans |\n| with a service-connected disability because veterans of periods prior to the Vietnam  |\n| era were a relatively small share of total veterans in August 2021. However, the \t|\n| imputations have a larger impact on the presence and severity of a service-connected  |\n| disability for veterans of the WW II, Korean War, and Vietnam era in addition to \t|\n| veterans of the other service periods group. Users should be mindful of the presence  |\n| of imputed data for these categories when they appear on tables 7 and 8 of this news  |\n| release.

\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 2021, 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

\nTechnical Note\n\n   The data in this release were collected through the Current Population Survey\n(CPS). The CPS\u0097a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by the\nU.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics\u0097obtains information on\nemployment and unemployment among the nation's civilian noninstitutional population\nage 16 and over.\n\n   Most of the data in this release are annual averages, compiled from the results\nof the monthly survey. In August, a supplement to the CPS collected additional \ninformation about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability, veterans'\nReserve or National Guard status, and veterans who served in Iraq and\/or Afghanistan.\nThe supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by \nthe U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. Questions\nwere asked of persons 17 years of age and older regarding their prior service in the\nU.S. Armed Forces. Data are tabulated for persons 18 years of age and older.\n\n   If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7-1-1\nto access telecommunications relay services.\n\nDefinitions\n\n   The definitions underlying the data in this release are as follows:\n\n   Veterans are men and women who previously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed\nForces and who were civilians at the time they were surveyed. Members of the Reserve\nand National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to active \nduty. Persons who are on active duty at the time of the survey are outside the scope\nof the survey and thus not in the estimates shown here, as are persons who reside in\ninstitutions, such as nursing homes and prisons.\n\n   Nonveterans are men and women who never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed\nForces.\n\n   World War II, Korean War, Vietnam-era, and Gulf War-era veterans are men and \nwomen who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during these periods of service, \nregardless of where in the world they served. Veterans who served in more than one\nwartime period are classified in the most recent one.\n\n   Veterans of other service periods are men and women who served in the U.S. Armed\nForces at any time other than World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam era, or the\nGulf War era. Although U.S. Armed Forces were engaged in several armed conflicts \nduring other service periods, these conflicts were more limited in scope and included\na smaller proportion of the Armed Forces than the selected wartime periods. Veterans\nwho served during one of the selected wartime periods and during another period are\nclassified in the wartime period.\n\n   Veteran status is obtained from responses to the question, \"Did you ever serve on\nactive duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\"\n\n   Period of service identifies when a veteran served in the Armed Forces, but not \nthe location of their service. It is obtained from answers to the question asked of\nveterans, \"When did you serve on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\" The following\nservice periods are identified:\n\n      Gulf War era II \u0097 September 2001-present\n      Gulf War era I \u0097 August 1990-August 2001\n      Vietnam era \u0097 August 1964-April 1975\n      Korean War \u0097 July 1950-January 1955\n      World War II \u0097 December 1941-December 1946\n      Other service periods \u0097 All other time periods\n\n   Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service.\nVeterans are counted only in one period of service, their most recent wartime \nperiod. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the \nmost recent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service\nperiod are classified in the wartime period. The period-of-service definitions are \nmodified occasionally to reflect changes in law, regulations, and program needs of \nthe survey sponsors.\n\n   Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both are individuals who served in\nIraq at any time since March 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001, or\nin both locations. Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is determined by answers to two \nquestions: \"Did you serve in Iraq, off the coast of Iraq, or did you fly missions \nover Iraq at any time since March 2003?\" and \"Did you serve in Afghanistan, or did \nyou fly missions over Afghanistan, at any time since October 2001?\"\n\n   Presence of service-connected disability is determined by answers to two questions\nbeginning in August 2021: \"Have you filed a claim for or received a rating from the\nDepartment of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense confirming that you have\na service-connected disability; that is, a health condition or impairment caused or\nmade worse by military service?\u0094 and (asked of those who said yes) \u0093Did you receive\na VA disability rating?\u0094  People who applied for and received a service-connected \ndisability rating are classified as having a service-connected disability. People \nwho applied for but did not receive a service-connected disability rating are \nclassified as without a service-connected disability.\n\n   Service-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, \"What\nis your current VA service-connected disability rating?\" Answers can range from 0 \nto 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points. Ratings are determined by \nthe VA or DoD from a rating schedule published in the Code of Federal Regulations,\nTitle 38, \"Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief,\" Part 4\u0097\"Schedule for Rating \nDisabilities.\" The rating schedule is \"primarily a guide in the evaluation of \ndisability resulting from all types of diseases and injuries encountered as a result\nof or incident to military service. The percentage ratings represent as far as can\npracticably be determined the average impairment in earning capacity resulting from\nsuch diseases and injuries and their residual conditions in civil occupations.\" \nPart 4 contains a listing of hundreds of possible disorders and assigns ratings of\n0 through 100 percent, with instructions for rating multiple disorders.\n\n   Reserve and National Guard membership refers only to Gulf War-era veterans who\nare current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Members of the \nReserve and National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to\nactive duty. These data do not refer to all persons who may have ever served in the\nReserve or National Guard. Beginning in August 2021, Reserve or National Guard \nstatus is obtained from answers to the question asked of veterans, \u0093Have you ever\nbeen a member of the Reserve or National Guard?\u0094 \n\nReliability of the estimates\n\n   Statistics based on the CPS are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error.\nWhen a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance\nthat the sample estimates will differ from the true population values they \nrepresent. The component of this difference that occurs because samples differ by\nchance is known as sampling error, and its variability is measured by the standard\nerror of the estimate. There is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, \nthat an estimate based on a sample will differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors \nfrom the true population value because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally\nconducted at the 90-percent level of confidence.\n\n   The CPS data also are affected by nonsampling error. Nonsampling error can occur\nfor many reasons, including the failure to sample a segment of the population, the\ninability to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, the inability or\nunwillingness of respondents to provide correct information, and errors made in the\ncollection or processing of the data.\n\n   Information about the reliability of national data from the CPS and instructions\non how to generate standard errors are available at \nwww.bls.gov\/cps\/documentation.htm#reliability.\n\n   For a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as \nthose in tables 6A and 6B of this release, see \nwww.bls.gov\/opub\/geographic-profile\/home.htm.\n\nComparability of the estimates\n\n   Effective with data for January 2021, estimates for veterans incorporate \npopulation controls derived from a new Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran\nPopulation Projection Model (VetPop2018). In accordance with usual practice, BLS \ndid not revise estimates for previous years. Information about the Veteran \nPopulation Projection Model is available from the Department of Veterans Affairs at\nwww.va.gov\/vetdata\/docs\/Demographics\/New_Vetpop_Model\/VP_18_A_Brief_Description.pdf.\n\n\n\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. 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. 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 release. Information on the presence and severity of a service-connected disability was not collected for veterans whose service ended before the Vietnam era. Estimates for these missing responses were imputed. This affects data for the WW II, Korean War, and Vietnam era group and the other service periods group. 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.
