Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h2>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (ET) Thursday, March 18, 2021\t\t\t\tUSDL-21-0438\n\nTechnical information:\t(202) 691-6378  *  cpsinfo@bls.gov  *  www.bls.gov\/cps\nMedia contact:\t\t(202) 691-5902  *  PressOffice@bls.gov\n\n\n\t\t    EMPLOYMENT SITUATION OF VETERANS -- 2020\n\n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed\nForces at any time since September 2001--a group referred to as Gulf War-era II\nveterans--rose to 7.3 percent in 2020, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported\ntoday. The jobless rate for all veterans increased to 6.5 percent in 2020. These\nincreases reflect the effect of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the labor\nmarket. In August 2020, 40 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans had a service-\nconnected disability, compared with 26 percent of all veterans.\n\nThis information was obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly\nsample survey of about 60,000 eligible households that provides data on employment,\nunemployment, and persons not in the labor force in the United States. Data about\nveterans are collected monthly in the CPS; these monthly data are the source of\nthe 2020 annual averages presented in this news release. In August 2020, a supplement\nto the CPS collected additional information about veterans on topics such as service-\nconnected disability and veterans' current or past Reserve or National Guard \nmembership. Information from the supplement is also presented in this news release.\nThe supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the\nU.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. For more\ninformation, see the Technical Note in this news release.\n\nHighlights from the 2020 data:\n\n  --Unemployment rates for both male and female veterans increased in 2020, reflecting\n    the COVID-19 pandemic. The rate for male veterans was 6.5 percent, little\n    different from the rate of 6.7 percent for female veterans. (See table A.)\n\n  --Unemployment rates for White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic veterans were lower than\n    for their nonveteran counterparts in 2020. (See table 1.)\n\n  --Among the 581,000 unemployed veterans in 2020, 54 percent were ages 25 to 54, 41\n    percent were age 55 and over, and 5 percent were ages 18 to 24. (See table 2A.) \n\n  --The unemployment rate of veterans with a service-connected disability, at 6.2\n    percent in August 2020, did not have a statistically significant change over the\n    year. The rate for veterans with no disability rose to 7.2 percent. (See table 7.)\n\n  --Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a service-connected disability rating of\n    less than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those\n    with a rating of 60 percent or higher in August 2020 (91.5 percent, compared with\n    63.6 percent). (See table 7.)\n\n  --In August 2020, 31 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected disability\n    worked in the public sector, compared with 19 percent of veterans with no disability\n    and 14 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\n  --In 2020, the unemployment rate of veterans varied across the country, ranging from\n    2.7 percent in Nebraska to 11.3 percent in Michigan. (See table 6A.)\n\nThe Veteran Population\n\nIn 2020, 18.5 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 7 percent of the\ncivilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. Of all veterans, 1 in 10 were women.\nIn the survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have previously served on active\nduty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at the time these data were collected.\nVeterans are much more likely to be men than are nonveterans, and they also tend to be\nolder. In part, this reflects the characteristics of veterans who served during World War\nII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, all of whom are now over 60 years old. Veterans\nwho served during these wartime periods accounted for 37 percent (6.8 million) of the total\nveteran population in 2020. Forty-one percent of veterans (7.6 million) served during Gulf\nWar era I (August 1990 to August 2001) or Gulf War era II (September 2001 to present).\nTwenty-two percent (4.1 million) served outside the designated wartime periods. (See tables\n1 and 2A.) \n\nGulf War-era II Veterans\n\nIn 2020, there were 4.5 million veterans who had served during Gulf War era II (September\n2001 to present). Seventeen percent of these veterans were women, compared with 3.5 percent\nof veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. Two-thirds of all Gulf\nWar-era II veterans were between the ages of 25 and 44. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for men rose to 7.4 percent and the\nrate for women rose to 7.2 percent in 2020. These rates were not statistically different\nfrom each other. (See table A.)\n\nIn 2020, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 7.4 percent, was not\nstatistically different than the rate for male nonveterans, at 7.8 percent. By age,\nunemployment rates were also not statistically different among male Gulf War-era II\nveterans and male nonveterans. (See table 2B.)\n\nThe unemployment rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans was 7.2 percent in 2020, not\nstatistically different from the rate for female nonveterans (8.2 percent). The unemployment\nrate for female Gulf War-era II veterans ages 25 to 34 was lower than the rate of their\nnonveteran counterparts (4.6 percent, compared with 8.4 percent). In other age groups,\nthe unemployment rates were not statistically different for female Gulf War-era II veterans\nand nonveterans. (See table 2C.)\n\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veterans were twice as likely to work in the public sector in 2020\nas employed nonveterans--28 percent versus 14 percent. Among the employed, 16 percent of\nGulf War-era II veterans worked for the federal government, compared with 2 percent of \nnonveterans. (See table 5.)\n\nIn August 2020, 40 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq, Afghanistan,\nor both locations. These veterans had an unemployment rate of 5.8 percent, lower than the\nrate for Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere (10.2 percent). (See table 10.)\n\nGulf War-era I Veterans\n\nIn 2020, of the 3.1 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August\n2001), the proportion who were women (16 percent) was similar to that for Gulf War-era II\nveterans (17 percent). All Gulf War-era I veterans were age 35 and over in 2020, compared\nwith 60 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans. Forty-eight percent of Gulf War-era I veterans\nwere ages 45 to 54, 23 percent were ages 55 to 64, 19 percent were ages 35 to 44, and 11\npercent were age 65 and over. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nIn 2020, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era I veterans (4.5 percent) was lower\nthan those of their Gulf War-era II counterparts (7.4 percent). The difference in \nunemployment rates reflects, at least in part, the older age profile of veterans who served\nduring Gulf War era I. Younger people--whether veterans or nonveterans--tend to have higher\nunemployment rates than older people. The rates for female Gulf War-era I and Gulf War-era\nII veterans were not statistically different (6.4 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively). \nAmong Gulf War-era I veterans, the unemployment rate increased for both men and women in \n2020, and the rate for men was lower than for women. (See tables 2B and 2C.)\n \nVeterans of Other Service Periods\n\nIn 2020, 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 War\nera I. All veterans from this period of service were age 45 and over at the time of the\nsurvey. Fifty percent of these veterans were ages 55 to 64, 40 percent were age 65 and \nover, and 10 percent were ages 45 to 54. (See table 2A.)\n\nIn 2020, 1 in 10 veterans of other service periods were women. Among veterans of other\nservice periods, the unemployment rate for men (7.1 percent) was not statistically \ndifferent from the rate for women (5.3 percent). The rate for men increased from the prior\nyear, while the rate for women did not show a statistically significant change. (See \ntable 1.)\n\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\n\nIn August 2020, 4.7 million veterans, or 26 percent of the total, had a service-connected\ndisability. Veterans with a service-connected disability are assigned a disability rating\nby the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of Defense. Ratings range\nfrom 0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points, depending on the severity of\nthe condition. (See table 7.) \n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans with a service-connected disability was 6.2 percent in\nAugust 2020, not statistically different from the rate for veterans with no disability\n(7.2 percent). The unemployment rates for male and female veterans with a service-connected\ndisability were not statistically different (5.8 percent and 8.9 percent, respectively).\nThe labor force participation rate for veterans with a service-connected disability (48.6\npercent) was also not statistically different from the rate for veterans with no disability\n(47.2 percent). \n\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability, 27 percent reported a disability rating\nof less than 30 percent, while 44 percent had a rating of 60 percent or higher. In August\n2020, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of less than 30 percent were much\nmore likely to be in the labor force than those with a rating of 60 percent or higher (53.8\npercent versus 41.2 percent). The unemployment rate for veterans with a disability rating\nof less than 30 percent was 4.7 percent, lower than the rate for those with a disability\nrating of 60 percent or higher (9.6 percent).\n\nAmong veterans who served during Gulf War era II, 40 percent (1.8 million) reported a \nservice-connected disability. In August 2020, 73.8 percent of all Gulf War-era II veterans\nwith a service-connected disability were in the labor force, lower than the 87.7 percent \nfor veterans from this period with no service-connected disability. Among Gulf War-era II \nveterans, the unemployment rate for those with a service-connected disability was 8.2 \npercent, not statistically different from those with no disability (8.8 percent). \n\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected disability, 19 percent reported a\ndisability rating of less than 30 percent and 54 percent reported a disability rating of 60\npercent or higher in August 2020. Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a disability rating\nof less than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with a \nrating of 60 percent or higher (91.5 percent, compared with 63.6 percent). The unemployment\nrate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30 percent was 5.8 percent in August\n2020, much lower than the rate for those with a disability rating of 60 percent or higher\n(11.8 percent).\n\nIn August 2020, 25 percent (754,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War era I reported\na service-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate (63.4 percent) was\nlower than the rate for veterans who did not have a disability (77.7 percent). The \nunemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans with a service-connected disability (2.8 \npercent) was not statistically different from that for Gulf War-era I veterans without a \nservice-connected disability (4.6 percent).\n\nThirteen percent (528,000) of veterans who served during other service periods reported a\nservice-connected disability in August 2020. The labor force participation rate of these\nveterans (44.5 percent) was little different from their counterparts without a service-\nconnected disability (44.3 percent). The unemployment rates were not statistically different\nfor veterans with a service-connected disability (4.6 percent) and those with no disability\n(6.9 percent).\n\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability worked\nin the public sector. In August 2020, 31 percent of employed veterans with a disability \nworked in federal, state, or local government, compared with 19 percent of veterans with \nno disability and 14 percent of nonveterans. Nineteen percent of employed veterans with a \ndisability worked for the federal government, compared with 9 percent of veterans with no \ndisability and 3 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\nReserve and National Guard Membership \n\nIn August 2020, 36 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans were current or past members of the\nReserve or National Guard. The labor force participation rate was higher for veterans who\nwere current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard (86.0 percent) than for \nveterans who had never been members (79.0 percent). Among Gulf War-era II veterans, those \nwho were current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard had an unemployment rate\n(6.4 percent) that was lower than for those who had never been members (10.0 percent). \n(See table 9.)\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. 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 November 2017, estimates for veterans incorporate population controls derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs\ufffd population model.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n
<\/p>\n
\nTechnical Note\n\n   The data in this release were collected through the Current Population Survey (CPS).\nThe CPS--a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by the U.S. \nCensus Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics--obtains information on employment \nand unemployment among the nation's civilian noninstitutional population age 16 and over.\n\n   Most of the data in this release are annual averages, compiled from the results of\nthe monthly survey. In August, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information\nabout veterans on topics such as service-connected disability, veterans' Reserve or \nNational Guard status, and veterans who served in Iraq and\/or Afghanistan. The \nsupplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by the U.S.\nDepartment of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. Questions were asked \nof persons 17 years of age and older regarding their prior service in the U.S. Armed \nForces. Data are tabulated for persons 18 years of age and older.\n\n   Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals \nupon request. Voice phone: (202) 691-5200; Federal Relay Service: (800) 877-8339.\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 duty.\nPersons who are on active duty at the time of the survey are outside the scope of the \nsurvey 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 women\nwho served in the U.S. Armed Forces during these periods of service, regardless of where\nin the world they served. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are \nclassified 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 during \nother service periods, these conflicts were more limited in scope and included a smaller\nproportion of the Armed Forces than the selected wartime periods. Veterans who served \nduring one of the selected wartime periods and during another period are classified in \nthe 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 the\nlocation of their service. It is obtained from answers to the question asked of veterans,\n\"When did you serve on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\"\n\n   The following service periods are identified:\n\n      Gulf War era II -- September 2001-present\n      Gulf War era I  -- August 1990-August 2001\n      Vietnam era     -- August 1964-April 1975\n      Korean War      -- July 1950-January 1955\n      World War II    -- December 1941-December 1946\n      Other service periods -- 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 period.\nVeterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent \none. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are \nclassified in the wartime period. The period-of-service definitions are modified \noccasionally to reflect changes in law, regulations, and program needs of the survey \nsponsors.\n\n   Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both are individuals who served in Iraq\nat any time since March 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001, or in both \nlocations. Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is determined by answers to two questions: \n\"Did you serve in Iraq, off the coast of Iraq, or did you fly missions over Iraq at any\ntime since March 2003?\" and \"Did you serve in Afghanistan, or did you fly missions over\nAfghanistan, at any time since October 2001?\"\n\n   Presence of service-connected disability is determined by answers to the question,\n\"Has the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or Department of Defense (DoD) determined\nthat you have a service-connected disability, that is, a health condition or impairment\ncaused or made worse by any of your military service?\"\n\n   Service-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, \"What is your\ncurrent service-connected disability rating?\" Answers can range from 0 to 100 percent, in\nincrements of 10 percentage points. Ratings are determined by the VA or DoD from a rating\nschedule published in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 38, \"Pensions, Bonuses, and\nVeterans' Relief,\" Part 4--\"Schedule for Rating Disabilities.\" The rating schedule is \n\"primarily a guide in the evaluation of disability resulting from all types of diseases \nand injuries encountered as a result of or incident to military service. The percentage \nratings represent as far as can practicably be determined the average impairment in \nearning capacity resulting from such diseases and injuries and their residual conditions\nin civil occupations.\" Part 4 contains a listing of hundreds of possible disorders and \nassigns ratings of 0 through 100 percent, with instructions for rating multiple disorders.\n\n   Reserve and National Guard membership refers only to Gulf War-era veterans who are \ncurrent or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Members of the Reserve and \nNational Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to active duty. These \ndata do not refer to all persons who may have ever served in the Reserve or National Guard.\nReserve or National Guard status is obtained from answers to two questions. Gulf War-era \nveterans were asked: \"Was any of your active service the result of a call-up from the \nReserve or National Guard?\" If the answer was no, they were asked, \"Have you ever been a \nmember of the Reserve or National Guard?\" A 'yes' response to either question classified \npersons as \"Current or past member of the Reserve or National Guard.\" A 'no' response to \nthe latter question classified persons as \"Never a member of the Reserve or National Guard.\"\n\nReliability of the estimates\n\n   Statistics based on the CPS are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. When a \nsample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance that the sample \nestimates will differ from the true population values they represent. The component of this\ndifference that occurs because samples differ by chance is known as sampling error, and its\nvariability is measured by the standard error of the estimate. There is about a 90-percent \nchance, or level of confidence, that an estimate based on a sample will differ by no more \nthan 1.6 standard errors from the true population value because of sampling error. BLS \nanalyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent level of confidence.\n\n   The CPS data also are affected by nonsampling error. Nonsampling error can occur for many\nreasons, including the failure to sample a segment of the population, the inability to \nobtain information for all respondents in the sample, the inability or unwillingness of \nrespondents to provide correct information, and errors made in the collection or processing\nof the data.\n\n   Information about the reliability of national data from the CPS and estimating standard \nerrors is available at https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/cps\/documentation.htm#reliability.\n\n   For a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as those in \ntables 6A and 6B of this release, see https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/opub\/geographic-profile\/home.htm.\n\nComparability of estimates\n\n   Effective with data for November 2017, estimates for veterans incorporate population \ncontrols derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs' population model. In \naccordance with usual practice, BLS did not revise estimates for previous years. Information\nabout the updated veteran population model is available from the Department of Veterans \nAffairs at https:\/\/www.va.gov\/vetdata\/docs\/Demographics\/New_Vetpop_Model\/Vetpop16_Overview.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.

\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. Effective with January 2020 data, occupations reflect the introduction of the 2018 Census occupational classification system into the Current Population Survey, or household survey. This classification system is derived from the 2018 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC). No historical data have been revised. Data for 2020 are not strictly comparable with earlier years. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 35,000).\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).<\/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. Beginning with data for August 2015, estimates from the veterans supplement reflect a change in the weighting methodology.  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. Beginning with data for August 2015, estimates from the veterans supplement reflect a change in the weighting methodology.  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
