Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h2>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (EDT) Thursday, March 19, 2020\t\t\t\tUSDL-20-0452\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(NOTE: Population controls used in the weighting of state data for veterans and\nnonveterans in tables 6A and 6B of the Employment Situation of Veterans 2019 news\nrelease were incorrect. All differences were minor and not statistically significant,\nand have been corrected as of April 22, 2020.)\n\n\n\t\t\t    EMPLOYMENT SITUATION OF VETERANS -- 2019\n\n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any\ntime since September 2001--a group referred to as Gulf War-era II veterans--was 3.5 percent in\n2019, little changed from 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The\njobless rate for all veterans declined in 2019 to 3.1 percent. In August 2019, 41 percent of\nGulf War-era II veterans had a service-connected disability, compared with 25 percent of all\nveterans.\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 2019 annual averages presented\nin this news release. In August 2019, a supplement to the CPS collected additional\ninformation about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability and veterans'\ncurrent or past Reserve or National Guard membership. Information from the supplement is\nalso presented in this news release. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department\nof Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training\nService. For more information, see the Technical Note in this news release.\n\nHighlights from the 2019 data:\n\n   --The unemployment rate for male veterans declined to 3.0 percent in 2019, and the rate\n     for female veterans (3.7 percent) changed little over the year. The unemployment rate\n     for male veterans was not statistically different from the rate for female veterans.\n     (See table A.)\n\n   --Among the 284,000 unemployed veterans in 2019, 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   --Veterans with a service-connected disability had an unemployment rate of 4.8 percent in\n     August 2019, not statistically different from the rate for veterans with no disability\n     (3.7 percent). (See table 7.) \n\n   --Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a service-connected disability rating of less than\n     30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with a rating of 60\n     percent or higher (92.2 percent, compared with 61.2 percent in August 2019). (See \n     table 7.)\n\n   --In August 2019, 31 percent of employed veterans with a service-connected disability\n     worked in the public sector, compared with 17 percent of veterans with no disability and\n     13 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\n   --In 2019, the unemployment rate of veterans varied across the country, ranging from 0.9 \n     percent in Maryland to 6.1 percent in Montana. (See table 6A.)\n\nThe Veteran Population\n\nIn 2019, 18.8 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 8 percent of the\ncivilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. Of all veterans, 1 in 10 were women. In\nthe survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have previously served on active duty in\nthe U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at the time these data were collected. Veterans\nare much more likely to be men than are nonveterans, and they also tend to be older. In part,\nthis reflects the characteristics of veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War,\nand the Vietnam era, all of whom are now over 60 years old. Veterans who served during these\nwartime periods accounted for 38 percent (7.2 million) of the total veteran population in 2019.\nThirty-nine percent of veterans (7.4 million) served during Gulf War-era I (August 1990 to\nAugust 2001) or Gulf War-era II (September 2001 to present). Twenty-two percent (4.2 million)\nserved outside the designated wartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nGulf War-era II Veterans\n\nIn 2019, there were 4.3 million veterans who had served during Gulf War-era II (September 2001\nto present). Seventeen percent of these veterans were women, compared with 3.5 percent of\nveterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. About 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 (3.4 percent) was lower than the\nrate for women (4.7 percent) in 2019. The unemployment rates for men and women were little\nchanged over the year. (See table A.)\n\nIn 2019, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 3.4 percent, was little\ndifferent from the rate for male nonveterans, at 3.7 percent. Among men ages 25 to 34, Gulf \nWar-era II veterans had a lower unemployment rate (3.1 percent) than did nonveterans (3.8\npercent). Among men ages 35 to 44, however, Gulf War-era II veterans had a higher unemployment\nrate (3.6 percent) than did nonveterans (2.5 percent). (See table 2B.)\n\nThe unemployment rate for female Gulf War-era II veterans was 4.7 percent in 2019, higher than\nthe rate for female nonveterans (3.5 percent). By age, unemployment rates for female Gulf \nWar-era II veterans and nonveterans were not statistically different, with one exception:\n35- to 44-year-old female Gulf War-era II veterans had a rate of 5.0 percent, higher than the\nrate of 2.9 percent for their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 2C.)\n\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veterans were about twice as likely to work in the public sector in\n2019 as employed nonveterans--25 percent and 13 percent, respectively. Among the employed, 15 \npercent of Gulf War-era II veterans worked for the federal government, compared with 2 percent\nof nonveterans. (See table 5.)\n\nIn August 2019, 42 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq, Afghanistan,\nor both locations. These veterans had an unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, little different\nfrom the rate for Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere (4.8 percent). (See table 10.)\n\nGulf War-era I Veterans\n\nIn 2019, of the 3.1 million veterans who served during Gulf War-era I (August 1990 to August 2001),\nthe proportion who were women (16 percent) was similar to that of Gulf War-era II veterans (17 percent). \nAll Gulf War-era I veterans were age 35 and over in 2019, compared with 57 percent of Gulf War-era II \nveterans. Nearly half of Gulf War-era I veterans were ages 45 to 54, 22 percent were ages 35 to 44, \n22 percent were ages 55 to 64, and 10 percent were age 65 and over. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nIn 2019, the unemployment rates for male and female Gulf War-era I veterans were little \ndifferent (2.7 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively). The rates for male and female Gulf\nWar-era I veterans were lower than those of their Gulf War-era II counterparts, at 3.4 percent\nfor male Gulf War-era II veterans and 4.7 percent for female Gulf War-era II veterans. The\ndifference in unemployment rates reflects, at least in part, the older age profile of veterans\nwho served during Gulf War-era I. Younger people--whether veterans or nonveterans--tend to\nhave higher unemployment rates than older people. (See tables 2B and 2C.)\n\nVeterans of Other Service Periods \n\nIn 2019, 4.2 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-era\nI. All veterans from this period of service were age 45 and over at the time of the survey.\nThirteen percent of these veterans were ages 45 to 54 in 2019, 48 percent were ages 55 to 64,\nand 39 percent were age 65 and over. (See table 2A.) \n\nIn 2019, 1 in 10 veterans of other service periods were women. Among veterans of other service\nperiods, the unemployment rate for men (2.8 percent) was not statistically different from the\nrate for women (3.9 percent). The rate for men declined over the year, while the rate for women\nwas little different. (See table 1.)\n\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\n\nIn August 2019, 4.7 million veterans, or 25 percent of the total, had a service-connected\ndisability. Veterans with a service-connected disability are assigned a disability rating by\nthe U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of Defense. Ratings range from\n0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points, depending on the severity of the\ncondition. (See table 7.)\n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans with a service-connected disability was 4.8 percent in\nAugust 2019, not statistically different from the rate for veterans with no disability (3.7 \npercent). The labor force participation rate for veterans with a service-connected disability\n(47.5 percent) was also not statistically different from the rate for veterans with no \ndisability (48.1 percent).\n\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability, 26 percent reported a disability rating \nof less than 30 percent, while another 44 percent had a rating of 60 percent or higher. In \nAugust 2019, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of less than 30 percent were\nmuch more likely to be in the labor force than those with a rating of 60 percent or higher\n(53.8 percent and 40.8 percent, respectively). The unemployment rate for veterans with a\ndisability rating of less than 30 percent was 3.0 percent, lower than the rate for those with\na disability rating of 60 percent or higher (8.6 percent).\n\nAmong veterans who served during Gulf War-era II, 41 percent (1.8 million) reported a \nservice-connected disability in August 2019. In August 2019, 72.7 percent of all Gulf War-era\nII veterans with a service-connected disability were in the labor force, lower than the 84.8\npercent for veterans from this period with no service-connected disability. Among Gulf War-era\nII veterans, the unemployment rate for those with a service-connected disability was 5.5 \npercent, not statistically different from those with no disability (4.4 percent). \n\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans with a service-connected disability, 17 percent reported a \ndisability rating of less than 30 percent and another 55 percent reported a disability rating\nof 60 percent or higher in August 2019. Gulf War-era II veterans who reported a disability \nrating of less than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with \na rating of 60 percent or higher (92.2 percent, compared with 61.2 percent). The unemployment\nrate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30 percent was 2.3 percent in August\n2019, much lower than the rate for those with a disability rating of 60 percent or higher\n(9.4 percent).\n\nIn August 2019, 26 percent (768,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War-era I reported a\nservice-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate (62.6 percent) was lower\nthan the rate for veterans who did not have a disability (81.4 percent). The unemployment rate\nfor Gulf War-era I veterans with a service-connected disability (2.5 percent) was not\nstatistically different from that for Gulf War-era I veterans without a service-connected\ndisability (3.4 percent).\n\nFifteen percent (641,000) of veterans who served during other service periods reported a \nservice-connected disability in August 2019. The labor force participation rate of these\nveterans (38.2 percent) was lower than their counterparts without a service-connected \ndisability (47.0 percent), while the unemployment rates were not statistically different for\nveterans with a service-connected disability (5.1 percent) and those with no disability (3.6 \npercent).\n\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability worked in\nthe public sector. In August 2019, 31 percent of employed veterans with a disability worked in\nfederal, state, or local government, compared with 17 percent of veterans with no disability\nand 13 percent of nonveterans. Twenty percent of employed veterans with a disability worked for\nthe federal government, compared with 8 percent of veterans with no disability and 2 percent of\nnonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\nReserve and National Guard Membership \n\nIn August 2019, one-third of Gulf War-era veterans (August 1990 to present) were current or \npast members of the Reserve or National Guard. The labor force participation rate was higher \nfor veterans who were current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard (81.9 percent) \nthan for veterans who were never members (76.6 percent). Among Gulf War-era veterans, those who\nwere current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard had an unemployment rate (4.7\npercent), not statistically different from that for those who had never been members (3.9\npercent). (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 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\n(CPS). The CPS--a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by\nthe U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics--obtains information\non employment and unemployment among the nation's civilian noninstitutional\npopulation age 16 and over.\n\n   Most of the data in this release are annual averages, compiled from the\nresults of the monthly survey. In August, a supplement to the CPS collected\nadditional information about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability,\nveterans' Reserve or National Guard status, and veterans who served in Iraq and\/or\nAfghanistan. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans\nAffairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training\nService. Questions were asked of persons 17 years of age and older regarding their\nprior service in the U.S. Armed Forces. Data are tabulated for persons 18 years of\nage 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.\nArmed Forces and who were civilians at the time they were surveyed. Members of\nthe Reserve and National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been\ncalled  to active duty. Persons who are on active duty at the time of the survey\nare outside the scope of the survey and thus not in the estimates shown here, as\nare persons who reside in institutions, such as nursing homes and prisons.\n\n   Nonveterans are men and women who never served on active duty in the U.S.\nArmed Forces.\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\none wartime 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\nthe Gulf 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\non active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?\"\n\n   Period of service identifies when a veteran served in the Armed Forces, but \nnot the location of their service. It is obtained from answers to the question \nasked of veterans, \"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\nIraq at any time since March 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001,\nor in both locations. Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is determined by answers to\ntwo questions: \"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\ndid you fly missions over Afghanistan, 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\nimpairment caused or made worse by any of your military service?\"\n\n   Service-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, \"What\nis your current service-connected disability rating?\" Answers can range from 0 to\n100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points. Ratings are determined by the\nVA or DoD from a rating schedule published in the Code of Federal Regulations,\nTitle 38, \"Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief,\" Part 4--\"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 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.\nThese data do not refer to all persons who may have ever served in the Reserve or \nNational Guard. Reserve or National Guard status is obtained from answers to two \nquestions. Gulf War-era veterans were asked: \"Was any of your active service the \nresult of a call-up from the Reserve or National Guard?\" If the answer was no, they\nwere  asked, \"Have you ever been a member of the Reserve or National Guard?\" A 'yes'\nresponse to either question classified persons as \"Current or past member of the \nReserve or National Guard.\" A 'no' response to the latter question classified\npersons 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.\nWhen a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance that\nthe sample estimates will differ from the true population values they represent. The\ncomponent of this difference that occurs because samples differ by chance is known as\nsampling error, and its variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate.\nThere is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, that an estimate based on\na sample will differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors from the true population\nvalue because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent\nlevel 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 estimating\nstandard errors is available at www.bls.gov\/cps\/documentation.htm#reliability.\n\n   For a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as those\nin tables 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. \nIn accordance with usual practice, BLS did not revise estimates for previous years. \nInformation about the updated veteran population model is available from the Department \nof Veterans Affairs 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.\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.<\/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
