Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h2>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (EDT) Thursday, March 22, 2018                       USDL-18-0453\n\nTechnical information: (202) 691-6378  *  cpsinfo@bls.gov  *  www.bls.gov\/cps\nMedia contact:         (202) 691-5902  *  PressOffice@bls.gov\n\n\n                            EMPLOYMENT SITUATION OF VETERANS -- 2017\n\n\nThe unemployment rate for veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces\nat any time since September 2001--a group referred to as Gulf War-era II veterans--\nedged down to 4.5 percent in 2017, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.\nThe jobless rate for all veterans declined from 4.3 percent to 3.7 percent in 2017.\nAbout 41 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans had a service-connected disability in\nAugust 2017, compared with 24 percent of all veterans.\n\nThis information was obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly\nsample survey of about 60,000 households that provides data on employment and\nunemployment in the United States. Data about veterans are collected monthly in the\nCPS; these monthly data are the source of the 2017 annual averages presented in this\nnews release. In August 2017, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information\nabout veterans on topics such as service-connected disability and veterans' current or\npast Reserve or National Guard membership. Information from the supplement is also\npresented in this release. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of\nVeterans Affairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and\nTraining Service. For more information, see the Technical Note, which provides\ndefinitions of terms used in this release.\n\nHighlights from the 2017 data:\n\n   --The unemployment rate for male veterans (3.6 percent) declined over the year,\n     and the rate for female veterans (4.1 percent) changed little in 2017. The\n     unemployment rate for male veterans was not statistically different from the\n     rate for female veterans. (See table A.)\n\n   --Among the 370,000 unemployed veterans in 2017, 59 percent were age 25 to 54,\n     37 percent were age 55 and over, and 4 percent were age 18 to 24. (See\n     table 2A.)\n\n   --Veterans with a service-connected disability had an unemployment rate of 4.3\n     percent in August 2017, little different from veterans with no disability\n     (4.5 percent). (See table 7.)\n\n   --About 1 in 3 employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked in\n     the public sector in August 2017, compared with about 1 in 5 veterans with no\n     disability. (See table 8.)\n\n   --In 2017, the unemployment rate of veterans varied across the country, ranging\n     from 1.7 percent in Maine and Vermont to 7.3 percent in Rhode Island. (See\n     table 6A.)\n\nThe Veteran Population\n\nIn 2017, 20.4 million men and women were veterans, accounting for about 8 percent of\nthe civilian noninstitutional population age 18 and over. About 10 percent of all\nveterans were women. In the survey, veterans are defined as men and women who have\npreviously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who were civilians at\nthe time these data were collected. Veterans are more likely to be men than were\nnonveterans, and they also tend to be older. In part, this reflects the characteristics\nof veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, all\nof whom are now over 60 years old. Veterans who served during these wartime periods\naccounted for 39 percent (8.1 million) of the total veteran population in 2017.\nThirty-six percent of veterans (7.4 million) served during Gulf War era I (August 1990\nto August 2001) or Gulf War era II (September 2001 forward). About a quarter (4.9\nmillion) served outside the designated wartime periods. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nGulf War-era II Veterans\n\nIn 2017, there were 4.1 million veterans who had served during Gulf War era II\n(September 2001 forward). Seventeen percent of these veterans were women, compared \nwith about 4 percent of veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam\nera. Seventy percent of all Gulf War-era II veterans were between the ages of 25 and\n44. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for men was not statistically\ndifferent from the rate for women in 2017. The unemployment rate for men edged down\nto 4.3 percent in 2017. The rate for women, at 5.5 percent, was essentially unchanged\nfrom the prior year. (See table A.)\n\nIn 2017, the unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans, at 4.3 percent, was\nthe same as the rate for male nonveterans. Among men age 25 to 34, Gulf War-era II\nveterans had a higher unemployment rate (6.0 percent) than did nonveterans (4.5\npercent). Among men age 45 to 54, however, Gulf War-era II veterans had a lower\nunemployment rate (1.5 percent) than did nonveterans (3.1 percent). (See table 2B.)\n\nAmong women, the unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans (5.5 percent) was\nhigher than the rate for nonveterans (4.1 percent) in 2017. By age, unemployment\nrates for female veterans and nonveterans were similar, with one exception: 25- to\n34-year-old female veterans had a rate of 8.0 percent, higher than the rate of 4.5\npercent for their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 2C.)\n\nEmployed Gulf War-era II veterans were about twice as likely to work in the public\nsector in 2017 as employed nonveterans--27 percent and 13 percent, respectively.\nAmong the employed, 15 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans worked for the federal\ngovernment, compared with 2 percent of nonveterans. (See table 5.)\n\nIn August 2017, 47 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq,\nAfghanistan, or both locations. These veterans had an unemployment rate of 4.4\npercent, little different from Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere\n(4.5 percent). (See table 10.)\n\nGulf War-era I Veterans\n\nOf the 3.3 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August\n2001), the proportion who were women (15 percent in 2017) was similar to that of\nGulf War-era II veterans (17 percent). Nearly all (99 percent) Gulf War-era I\nveterans were age 35 and over in 2017, compared with 54 percent of Gulf War-era II\nveterans. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nIn 2017, the unemployment rates for male and female Gulf War-era I veterans were\n3.0 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, lower than the rates for their Gulf\nWar-era II veteran counterparts (4.3 percent and 5.5 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\nto have higher unemployment rates than older people. (See tables 2B and 2C.)\n\nVeterans of Other Service Periods\n\nIn 2017, 4.9 million veterans had served on active duty during \"other service\nperiods,\" mainly between the Korean War and the Vietnam era and between the Vietnam\nera and Gulf War era I. All veterans from this period of service were 45 years or\nolder at the time of the survey. Twenty-two percent of these veterans were age 45\nto 54 in 2017, another 39 percent were age 55 to 64, and another 39 percent were\nage 65 and over. (See table 2A.)\n\nIn 2017, 1 in 10 veterans of other service periods were women. Among veterans of\nother service periods, the unemployment rate for men (3.2 percent) was little\ndifferent than the rate for women (2.7 percent). (See table 1.)\n\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\n\nIn August 2017, about 4.9 million veterans, or 24 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 was 4.3 percent\nin August 2017, little different than the rate for veterans with no disability (4.5\npercent). The labor force participation rate for veterans with a service-connected\ndisability (48.4 percent) was not statistically different than the rate for veterans\nwith no disability (49.2 percent).\n\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability, 28 percent reported a disability\nrating of less than 30 percent, while another 41 percent had a rating of 60 percent\nor higher. In August 2017, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of\nless than 30 percent were much more likely to be in the labor force than those with\na rating of 60 percent or higher (53.5 percent and 37.7 percent, respectively). The\nunemployment rate for veterans with a disability rating of less than 30 percent was\n3.3 percent, not statistically different than for those with a disability rating of\n60 percent or higher (4.8 percent).\n\nAmong veterans who served during Gulf War era II, 41 percent (1.7 million) reported\na service-connected disability and nearly half of these veterans had a service-\nconnected disability rating of 60 percent or higher. In August 2017, 75.8 percent of\nall Gulf War era II veterans with a service-connected disability were in the labor\nforce, lower than the 85.5 percent for veterans from this period with no service-\nconnected disability. Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for\nthose with a service-connected disability was 3.9 percent, not statistically\ndifferent from those with no disability (4.8 percent).\n\nIn August 2017, 28 percent (946,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War era I\nreported a service-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate was\nlower (65.6 percent) than the rate for veterans from the era who did not have a\ndisability (85.9 percent). The unemployment rate for Gulf War-era I veterans with a\nservice-connected disability (4.3 percent) was not statistically different than that\nfor Gulf War-era I veterans without a service-connected disability (2.8 percent).\n\nAmong the 1.7 million veterans with a service-connected disability from World War II,\nthe Korean War, and the Vietnam era, 15.4 percent were in the labor force in August\n2017, lower than the 23.1 percent of veterans from these periods who did not have a\nservice-connected disability. The unemployment rate of veterans from these wartime\nperiods with a service-connected disability was 3.9 percent, lower than their\ncounterparts with no disability (7.9 percent).\n\nThirteen percent (633,000) of veterans who served during other service periods reported\na service-connected disability in August 2017. The labor force participation rate of\nthese veterans (38.6 percent) was lower than their counterparts without a service-\nconnected disability (48.3 percent), while the unemployment rate was not statistically\ndifferent for veterans with a service-connected disability (6.7 percent) and those with\nno disability (3.6 percent).\n\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability\nworked in the public sector. In August 2017, 33 percent of employed veterans with a\ndisability worked in federal, state, or local government, compared with 19 percent of\nveterans with no disability and 13 percent of nonveterans. Nineteen percent of employed\nveterans with a disability worked for the federal government, compared with 7 percent\nof veterans with no disability and 2 percent of nonveterans. (See table 8.)\n\nReserve and National Guard Membership\n\nIn August 2017, about one-third of Gulf War-era veterans (August 1990 to present) were\ncurrent or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Labor force participation\nrates were higher for veterans who were current or past members of the Reserve or\nNational Guard (82.4 percent), compared with veterans who were never members (79.4\npercent). Among Gulf War-era veterans, those who were current or past members of the\nReserve or National Guard had a lower unemployment rate than those who had never been\nmembers (2.5 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively). (See table 9.)\n\n\n   _____________________________________________________________________________\n  |                                                                             |\n  |                Adjustments to Veteran Population Estimates                  |\n  |                                                                             |\n  |Effective with data for November 2017, estimates for veterans incorporate    |\n  |population controls derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs   |\n  |population model.

\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.\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--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 for 2017, compiled from the\nresults of the monthly survey. In August 2017, 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 www.bls.gov\/opub\/gp\/gpapndb.htm.\n\nComparability of estimates\n\n   Beginning with data for August 2015, estimates from the veterans supplement shown\nin tables 7 through 10 of this release reflect a change in the weighting methodology.\nAs a result of this change, for August 2015 and later years, the estimates of the\nnumber of veterans with a service-connected disability, veteran Reserve or National\nGuard members, and veterans who served in Iraq or Afghanistan were higher than in\nprevious years. The supplement data presented in this release are not strictly\ncomparable with data for years before 2015 due to the change. See the note in the\nEmployment Situation of Veterans 2015 news release for more information about the\nchange in weighting methodology (www.bls.gov\/news.release\/archives\/vet_03222016.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.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWar 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<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tperiods (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<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tin 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<\/p>\n
