Employment Situation of Veterans News Release<\/h2>\n
\n
\nFor release 10:00 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday, March 18, 2015                  USDL-15-0426\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 -- 2014\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--declined by 1.8 percentage points over the year to 7.2 percent in 2014, \nthe U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The jobless rate for all \nveterans, at 5.3 percent, also declined from a year earlier. In addition, 29 \npercent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported having a service-connected \ndisability in August 2014, compared with 16 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 \nthe CPS; those monthly data are the source of the 2014 annual averages presented \nin this news release. In August 2014, a supplement to the CPS collected \nadditional information about veterans on topics such as service-connected \ndisability and veterans' current or past Reserve or National Guard membership. \nInformation from the supplement is also presented in this release. The supplement \nwas co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by the U.S. \nDepartment of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. For more \ninformation, see the Technical Note, which provides definitions of terms used \nin this release.\n\nHighlights from the 2014 data:\n\n--The unemployment rate for male veterans declined to 5.2 percent in 2014. The \n  rate for female veterans edged down to 6.0 percent. (See table A.) \n\n--Among the 573,000 unemployed veterans in 2014, 59 percent were age 45 and over. \n  Thirty-seven percent were age 25 to 44, 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 5.9 \n  percent in August 2014, the same rate as for veterans with no disability. \n  (See table 7.) \n\n--Nearly 1 in 3 employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked in \n  the public sector in August 2014, compared with nearly 1 in 5 veterans with \n  no disability. (See table 8.) \n\n--In 2014, the unemployment rate of veterans varied by state, ranging from 1.4 \n  percent in North Dakota to 8.5 percent in Maryland. (See table 6A.) \n\nThe Veteran Population\n\nIn 2014, 21.2 million men and women, or 9 percent of the civilian noninstitutional \npopulation age 18 and over, were veterans. In the survey, veterans are defined \nas men and women who have previously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces \nand who were civilians at the time these data were collected. Veterans are more \nlikely to be men and older than nonveterans. In part, this reflects the \ncharacteristics of veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War, and \nthe Vietnam era. Veterans who served during these wartime periods accounted for \n44 percent (9.4 million) of the total veteran population in 2014. Thirty-one \npercent of veterans (6.5 million) served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to \nAugust 2001) or Gulf War era II (September 2001 forward). Another quarter (5.3 \nmillion) served outside the designated wartime periods. (See table 1.)\n\nGulf War-era II Veterans\n\nIn 2014, there were 3.2 million veterans who had served during Gulf War era II. \nTwenty percent of these veterans were women, compared with 4 percent of veterans \nfrom World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. Nearly half of all Gulf \nWar-era II veterans were between the ages of 25 and 34. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nAmong Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rate for men declined from 8.8 \npercent in 2013 to 6.9 percent in 2014.  The unemployment rate for women (8.5 \npercent) in 2014 was not statistically different from the prior year (9.6 \npercent). (See table A.)\n\nThe unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans (6.9 percent) was higher \nthan the rate for male nonveterans (6.2 percent) in 2014.  In general, \nunemployment rates of male veterans and male nonveterans in the same age ranges \nwere not statistically different. However, among men age 25 to 34, Gulf War-era \nII veterans had a higher unemployment rate (7.5 percent) than did nonveterans \n(6.3 percent). (See table 2B.)\n\nAmong women, the unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II veterans (8.5 percent) \nwas higher than the rate for nonveterans (5.9 percent) in 2014. By age, \nunemployment rates for female veterans and nonveterans were similar with one \nexception: 35-to 44-year-old female veterans had a rate of 9.0 percent, higher \nthan the rate of 4.8 percent for their nonveteran counterparts. (See table 2C.) \n\nVeterans of Gulf War era II and nonveterans had similar occupational profiles \nin 2014 after accounting for gender. About one-third of employed veteran and\nnonveteran men worked in management and professional occupations, a higher \nproportion than in any other major occupational group. Among employed women, \njust over 40 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans and nonveterans worked in \nmanagement and professional occupations. (See table 4.)\n\nA higher proportion of employed Gulf War-era II veterans worked in the public \nsector in 2014 than employed nonveterans--25 percent and 14 percent, \nrespectively. Among the employed, 14 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans worked \nfor the federal government, compared with 2 percent of employed nonveterans. \n(See table 5.)\n\nIn August 2014, 36 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in \nIraq, Afghanistan, or both. (Some veterans did not report their location of \nservice.) These veterans had an unemployment rate of 8.4 percent, not \nstatistically different from Gulf War-era II veterans who served elsewhere \n(7.8 percent). (See table 10.)\n\nGulf War-era I Veterans\n\nOf the 3.4 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 \nto August 2001), the proportion who were women (19 percent in 2014) was \nsimilar to that of Gulf War-era II veterans. Almost all (95 percent) Gulf \nWar-era I veterans were age 35 and over in 2014, compared with 45 percent \nof Gulf War-era II veterans. (See tables 1 and 2A.)\n\nIn 2014, the unemployment rates for male and female Gulf War-era I veterans \nwere 4.0 percent and 5.2 percent, respectively, lower than the rates for \ntheir Gulf War-era II veteran counterparts (6.9 percent and 8.5 percent, \nrespectively). These differences in the unemployment rates reflect, at least \nin part, the older age profile of veterans who served during Gulf War era I. \nYounger people--whether veterans or nonveterans--tend to have higher \nunemployment rates than older people. (See tables 2B and 2C.)\n\nVeterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam Era\n\nIn 2014, there were 9.4 million veterans who had served during World War II, \nthe Korean War, and the Vietnam era. All of these veterans were at least \n55 years old, and about three-fourths were at least 65 years old. Nearly all \n(96 percent) of these veterans were men. In 2014, 28.4 percent of male \nveterans of these wartime periods were in the labor force, and their \nunemployment rate was 5.0 percent. Male veterans of these wartime periods \nhad lower labor force participation rates than did male nonveterans in the \nsame age categories. (See tables 1, 2A, and 2B.)\n\nVeterans of Other Service Periods\n\nIn 2014, 5.3 million veterans had served on active duty during \"other \nservice periods,\" mainly between the Korean War and the Vietnam era, and \nbetween the Vietnam era and Gulf War era I. Because these veterans served \nbetween the major wartime periods, which span several decades, this group \nis concentrated in two age ranges. Thirty-five percent of these veterans \nwere age 45 to 54 in 2014, and another 40 percent were age 65 and over. \n(See table 2A.)\n\nIn 2014, nearly 9 in 10 veterans of other service periods were men. Among \nveterans of other service periods, the unemployment rate for men was 5.3 \npercent, not statistically different from the rate of 4.2 percent for women. \n(See tables 1, 2B, and 2C.)\n\nVeterans with a Service-connected Disability\n\nIn August 2014, about 3.4 million veterans, or 16 percent of the total, \nhad a service-connected disability. (Some veterans did not report whether \nthey had a service-connected disability.) Veterans with a service-connected \ndisability are assigned a disability rating by the U.S. Department of \nVeterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of Defense. Ratings range from 0 \nto 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points, depending on the \nseverity of the condition. (See table 7.)\n\nAmong veterans with a service-connected disability, one-third reported a \ndisability rating of less than 30 percent, while another third had a rating \nof 60 percent or higher. In August 2014, veterans with a service-connected \ndisability rating of less than 30 percent were much more likely to be in \nthe labor force than those with a rating of 60 percent or higher (50.0 \npercent and 32.6 percent, respectively).\n\nAmong veterans who served during Gulf War era II, nearly 3 in 10 (928,000) \nreported having a service-connected disability. Of these, 75.1 percent were \nin the labor force in August 2014, lower than the 85.6 percent for veterans \nfrom this period with no service-connected disability. Among Gulf War-era II \nveterans, the unemployment rate of those with a disability was 9.1 percent, \nnot statistically different from those with no disability (7.8 percent).\n\nIn August 2014, 17 percent (584,000) of veterans who served during Gulf \nWar era I reported a service-connected disability. Their labor force \nparticipation rate (73.6 percent) was lower than the rate for veterans \nfrom the era who did not have a disability (87.2 percent). The unemployment \nrate for Gulf War-era I veterans with a service-connected disability was \nlower than that for Gulf War-era I veterans without a service-connected \ndisability.\n\nAmong the 1.4 million veterans with a service-connected disability from \nWorld War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, 14.0 percent were in the \nlabor force in August 2014, lower than the 29.2 percent of veterans from \nthese periods who did not have a service-connected disability. The \nunemployment rate of veterans with a disability from these wartime periods \nwas 6.0 percent, little different from their counterparts with no disability \n(5.8 percent).\n\nIn August 2014, labor force participation rates and unemployment rates for \nveterans of other service periods were similar for those with and without \na service-connected disability.\n\nRegardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected \ndisability worked in the public sector. In August 2014, 31 percent of \nemployed veterans with a disability worked in federal, state, or local \ngovernment, compared with 18 percent of veterans with no disability and \n13 percent of nonveterans. Among the employed, 21 percent of veterans \nwith a disability worked for the federal government, compared with 6 \npercent of veterans with no disability and 2 percent of nonveterans. \n(See table 8.)\n\nReserve or National Guard Membership\n\nIn August 2014, 28 percent of Gulf War-era veterans (August 1990 to present) \nwere reported to be current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. \nUnemployment rates were not statistically different for veterans who were \ncurrent or past members of the Reserve or National Guard compared with veterans \nwho were never members. Among Gulf War-era II veterans, those who were current \nor past members of the Reserve or National Guard had a higher labor force \nparticipation rate than those who had never been members (86.5 percent and \n77.8 percent, respectively). For veterans of Gulf War-era I, labor force \nparticipation rates were similar for members and nonmembers. (See table 9.)\n\n\n\n   --------------------------------------------------------------------\n  |                                                                    |\n  |     Updated Veteran Weighting Methodology for Household Survey     |\n  |                                                                    |\n  |  Beginning with data for January 2014, estimates for veterans in   |\n  |  this news release incorporate updated weighting procedures. The   |\n  |  new weighting methodology more accurately reflects the current    |\n  |  demographic composition of the veteran population. The primary    |\n  |  impact of the change was an increase in the \"Gulf War-era I\"      |\n  |  veteran population and a decrease in the number of veterans in    |\n  |  the \"Other service periods\" category. The updated methodology     |\n  |  had little effect on unemployment rates for veterans, regardless  |\n  |  of gender or period of service. Additional information on the     |\n  |  effect of the change on labor force estimates for veterans is     |\n  |  available at www.bls.gov\/cps\/vetsweights2014.pdf.                 |\n  |                                                                    |\n   --------------------------------------------------------------------\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 January 2013, estimates for veterans incorporate population controls derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs’ population model.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\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 for 2014, compiled from the\nresults of the monthly survey. In August 2014, 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 table 6 of this release, see www.bls.gov\/opub\/gp\/gpapndb.htm.\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<\/tbody>\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<\/tbody>\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<\/tbody>\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<\/tbody>\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<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

1 Rates not shown where the base is less than 75,000. Small estimated levels are based on a small number of survey responses and, thus,\nare subject to relatively large standard errors.\nNOTE: 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.\n  Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era\nI (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War (July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December\n1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted in only one period of service, their most\nrecent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most recent one. Veterans who served in\nboth a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. A service-connected disability is a health\ncondition or impairment caused or made worse by military service. The associated disability rating, which can range from 0 to 100 percent,\nis determined from a rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, \"Title 38.\" More information appears in the\nTechnical Note of this release. Dash represents or rounds to zero.\n\n\n\n<\/pre>\n

U.S. Armed Forces and were not on active duty at the time of the survey.\nNonveterans never served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of\nservice: Gulf War era II (September 2001-present), Gulf War era I (August 1990-August 2001), Vietnam era (August 1964-April 1975), Korean War\n(July 1950-January 1955), World War II (December 1941-December 1946), and other service periods (all other time periods). Veterans are counted\nin only one period of service, their most recent wartime period. Veterans who served in more than one wartime period are classified in the most\nrecent one. Veterans who served in both a wartime period and any other service period are classified in the wartime period. A service-connected\ndisability is a health condition or impairment caused or made worse by military service. The associated disability rating, which can range from\n0 to 100 percent, is determined from a rating schedule published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, \"Title 38.\" More information appears\nin the Technical Note of this release.
