EMPLOYMENT SITUATION OF VETERANS -- 2013
The unemployment rate for veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at
any time since September 2001--a group referred to as Gulf War-era II veterans--edged down
to 9.0 percent in 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The jobless
rate for all veterans also edged down to 6.6 percent. Twenty-nine percent of Gulf War-era
II veterans reported having a service-connected disability in August 2013, compared with
15 percent of all veterans.
This information was obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample
survey of about 60,000 households that provides data on employment and unemployment in
the United States. Data about veterans are collected monthly in the CPS; those monthly
data are the source of the 2013 annual averages presented in this news release. In August
2013, a supplement to the CPS collected additional information about veterans on topics
such as service-connected disability and veterans’ current or past Reserve or National
Guard membership. Information from the supplement is also presented in this release. The
supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by the U.S.
Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. For more information,
see the Technical Note, which provides definitions of terms used in this release.
Highlights from the 2013 data:
--Among all veterans, the unemployment rate for women declined to 6.9 percent in
2013. The rate for male veterans edged down to 6.5 percent. (See table A.)
--Among the 722,000 unemployed veterans in 2013, 60 percent were age 45 and over.
Thirty-five percent were age 25 to 44, and 5 percent were age 18 to 24. (See
table 2A.)
--Veterans with a service-connected disability had an unemployment rate of 6.2
percent in August 2013, little different than the rate for veterans with no
disability (6.6 percent). (See table 7.)
--One in 3 employed veterans with a service-connected disability worked in the
public sector in August 2013, compared with 1 in 5 veterans with no disability.
(See table 8.)
--In 2013, the unemployment rate of veterans varied by state, ranging from over
10 percent in Michigan and New Jersey to under 4 percent in Delaware, Iowa,
North Dakota, Vermont, and Virginia. (See table 6A.)
The Veteran Population
In 2013, 21.4 million men and women, or 9 percent of the civilian noninstitutional
population age 18 and over, were veterans. In the survey, veterans are defined as men
and women who have previously served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and who
were civilians at the time these data were collected. Veterans are more likely to be
men and older than nonveterans. In part, this reflects the characteristics of veterans
who served during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. Veterans who
served during these wartime periods accounted for nearly one-half (9.8 million) of the
total veteran population in 2013. Over one quarter of veterans (6.1 million) served
during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August 2001) or Gulf War era II (September 2001
forward). Another quarter (5.5 million) served outside the designated wartime periods.
(See table 1.)
Gulf War-era II Veterans
In 2013, about 2.8 million of the nation's veterans had served during Gulf War era II.
About 20 percent of these veterans were women, compared with 4 percent of veterans from
World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam era. Over half of all Gulf War-era II
veterans were between the ages of 25 and 34. (See tables 1 and 2A.)
Among Gulf War-era II veterans, the unemployment rates in 2013 for men (8.8 percent) and
women (9.6 percent) were not statistically different from the prior year (9.5 percent
and 12.5 percent, respectively). Among women, the unemployment rate for Gulf War-era II
veterans (9.6 percent) was higher in 2013 than the rate for nonveterans (6.8 percent).
(See tables A and 2C.)
The unemployment rate for male Gulf War-era II veterans (8.8 percent) was higher than
the rate for male nonveterans (7.5 percent) in 2013. The unemployment rates differed by
age. Male Gulf War-era II veterans age 18 to 24 had a higher unemployment rate than male
nonveterans of the same age group (24.3 percent and 15.8 percent, respectively). For
those age 25 to 34, male veterans also had a higher rate than male nonveterans (9.2
percent and 7.5 percent, respectively). For men 35 and older, unemployment rates were
little different for Gulf War-era II veterans and nonveterans. (See table 2B.)
Veterans of Gulf War era II and nonveterans had similar occupational profiles in 2013
after accounting for gender. About one-third of the employed men in both groups worked
in management and professional occupations, a higher proportion than in any other major
occupational group. Among employed women, over 40 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans
and nonveterans worked in management and professional occupations. (See table 4.)
A higher proportion of employed Gulf War-era II veterans worked in the public sector in
2013 than employed nonveterans--28 percent and 14 percent, respectively. The federal
government employed 16 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans, compared with about 2 percent
of employed nonveterans. (See table 5.)
In August 2013, 40 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans reported serving in Iraq,
Afghanistan, or both. (Some veterans did not report their location of service.) These
veterans had an unemployment rate of 10.2 percent, little different from Gulf War-
era II veterans who served elsewhere (10.9 percent). (See table 10.)
Gulf War-era I Veterans
For the 3.2 million veterans who served during Gulf War era I (August 1990 to August
2001), the proportion that were women (19 percent in 2013) was similar to that of
Gulf War-era II veterans. Almost all Gulf War-era I veterans were age 35 and over
(91 percent) in 2013, compared with 41 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans. (See
tables 1 and 2A.)
In 2013, the unemployment rates for male and female Gulf War-era I veterans were 5.7
percent and 5.3 percent, respectively, lower than the rates for their Gulf War-era II
veteran counterparts (8.8 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively). These differences
in the unemployment rates reflect, at least in part, the older age profile of veterans
who served during Gulf War era I. Younger workers--whether veterans or nonveterans--are
more likely to be unemployed than older workers. Unemployment rates of Gulf War-era I
veterans were little different from their nonveteran counterparts of the same age and
gender groups. (See tables 2B and 2C.)
Veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam Era
In 2013, about 9.8 million veterans were estimated to have served during World War II,
the Korean War, or the Vietnam era. All of these veterans were at least 55 years old,
and over 70 percent were at least 65 years old. Nearly all (96 percent) of these
veterans were men. In 2013, 30.0 percent of male veterans of these wartime periods
were in the labor force, and their unemployment rate was 6.5 percent. Male veterans
of these wartime periods had lower labor force participation rates than did male
nonveterans in the same age categories. (See tables 1 and 2B.)
Veterans of Other Service Periods
In 2013, about 5.5 million veterans had served on active duty during "other service
periods," mainly between the Korean War and the Vietnam era, and between the Vietnam
era and Gulf War era I. Because these veterans served between the major wartime
periods, which span several decades, this group is concentrated in two age ranges.
Thirty-eight percent of these veterans were 45 to 54 years old in 2013, and another
38 percent were 65 years and over. (See table 2A.)
About 9 in 10 veterans of other service periods were men in 2013. Among most age
groups, male veterans of service periods between the designated wartime periods had
unemployment rates that were little different than those of male nonveterans. (See
tables 1 and 2B.)
Veterans with a Service-connected Disability
In August 2013, about 3.2 million veterans, or 15 percent of the total, had a service-
connected disability. (Some veterans did not report whether they had a service-connected
disability.) Veterans with a service-connected disability are assigned a disability
rating by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the U.S. Department of Defense.
Ratings range from 0 to 100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points, depending
on the severity of the condition. (See table 7.)
Among veterans with a service-connected disability, 35 percent reported a disability
rating of less than 30 percent, while about 3 in 10 had a rating of 60 percent or
higher. In August 2013, veterans with a service-connected disability rating of less
than 30 percent were nearly twice as likely to be in the labor force as those with a
rating of 60 percent or higher (56.0 percent and 28.9 percent, respectively).
Among veterans who served during Gulf War era II, nearly 3 in 10 (827,000) reported
having a service-connected disability. Of these, 70.5 percent were in the labor force
in August 2013, lower than the labor force participation rate of 85.4 percent for
veterans from this period with no service-connected disability. Among Gulf War-era II
veterans, the unemployment rate of those with a disability was 8.6 percent, not
statistically different from those with no disability (11.1 percent).
In August 2013, nearly 20 percent (589,000) of veterans who served during Gulf War
era I reported a service-connected disability. Their labor force participation rate
(71.3 percent) was lower than the rate for veterans from the era who did not have a
disability (86.8 percent). Unemployment rates for Gulf War-era I veterans with and
without service-connected disabilities were not statistically different (4.1 percent
and 6.5 percent, respectively).
Among the 1.3 million veterans with a service-connected disability from World War II,
the Korean War, and the Vietnam era, 16.8 percent were in the labor force in August
2013, compared with 30.3 percent of veterans from these periods who did not have a
service-connected disability. The unemployment rate of veterans with a disability
from these wartime periods was 7.6 percent, not statistically different from their
counterparts with no disability (5.3 percent).
Veterans with a service-connected disability from other service periods had a labor
force participation rate of 55.5 percent in August 2013, compared with 56.2 percent
for veterans with no disability from these periods. Among veterans from other
service periods, the unemployment rates of those with and without service-connected
disabilities were not statistically different, at 2.7 percent and 5.3 percent,
respectively.
Regardless of period of service, many veterans with a service-connected disability
worked in the public sector. In August 2013, 31 percent of employed veterans with a
disability worked in federal, state, or local government, compared with 19 percent
of veterans with no disability and 13 percent of nonveterans. The federal government
employed 19 percent of veterans with a disability, compared with 7 percent of veterans
with no disability and 2 percent of employed nonveterans. (See table 8.)
Reserve or National Guard Membership
In August 2013, nearly 30 percent of both Gulf War-era I and Gulf War-era II veterans were
reported to be current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Unemployment
rates were similar for those veterans who were current or past members of the Reserve or
National Guard compared with those veterans who were never members. Among Gulf War-era II
veterans, those who were current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard had a
higher labor force participation rate than those who had never been members (85.4 percent
and 77.4 percent, respectively). For veterans of Gulf War-era I, labor force participation
rates were similar for members and nonmembers. (See table 9.)

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. 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.

Technical Note
The data in this release were collected through the Current Population Survey
(CPS). The CPS--a monthly survey of about 60,000 eligible households conducted by
the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics--obtains information
on employment and unemployment among the nation's civilian noninstitutional
population age 16 and over.
Most of the data in this release are annual averages for 2013, compiled from the
results of the monthly survey. In August 2013, a supplement to the CPS collected
additional information about veterans on topics such as service-connected disability,
veterans' Reserve or National Guard status, and veterans who served in Iraq and/or
Afghanistan. The supplement was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training
Service. Questions were asked of persons 17 years of age and older regarding their
prior service in the U.S. Armed Forces. Data are tabulated for persons 18 years of
age and older.
Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals
upon request. Voice phone: (202) 691-5200; Federal Relay Service: (800) 877-8339.
Definitions
The definitions underlying the data in this release are as follows:
Veterans are men and women who previously served on active duty in the U.S.
Armed Forces and who were civilians at the time they were surveyed. Members of
the Reserve and National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been
called to active duty. Persons who are on active duty at the time of the survey
are outside the scope of the survey and thus not in the estimates shown here, as
are persons who reside in institutions, such as nursing homes and prisons.
Nonveterans are men and women who never served on active duty in the U.S.
Armed Forces.
World War II, Korean War, Vietnam-era, and Gulf War-era veterans are men and
women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during these periods of service,
regardless of where in the world they served. Veterans who served in more than
one wartime period are classified in the most recent one.
Veterans of other service periods are men and women who served in the U.S. Armed
Forces at any time other than World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam era, or
the Gulf War era. Although U.S. Armed Forces were engaged in several armed conflicts
during other service periods, these conflicts were more limited in scope and included
a smaller proportion of the Armed Forces than the selected wartime periods. Veterans
who served during one of the selected wartime periods and during another period are
classified in the wartime period.
Veteran status is obtained from responses to the question, "Did you ever serve
on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?"
Period of service identifies when a veteran served in the Armed Forces, but
not the location of their service. It is obtained from answers to the question
asked of veterans, "When did you serve on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces?"
The following service periods are identified:
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
Other service periods -- All other time periods
Veterans could have served anywhere in the world during these periods of service.
Veterans are counted only in 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. The period-of-service definitions are modified
occasionally to reflect changes in law, regulations, and program needs of the survey
sponsors.
Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both are individuals who served in
Iraq at any time since March 2003, in Afghanistan at any time since October 2001,
or in both locations. Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is determined by answers to
two questions: "Did you serve in Iraq, off the coast of Iraq, or did you fly missions
over Iraq at any time since March 2003?" and "Did you serve in Afghanistan, or
did you fly missions over Afghanistan, at any time since October 2001?"
Presence of service-connected disability is determined by answers to the question,
"Has the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or Department of Defense (DoD) determined
that you have a service-connected disability, that is, a health condition or
impairment caused or made worse by any of your military service?"
Service-connected disability rating is based on answers to the question, "What
is your current service-connected disability rating?" Answers can range from 0 to
100 percent, in increments of 10 percentage points. Ratings are determined by the
VA or DoD from a rating schedule published in the Code of Federal Regulations,
Title 38, "Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief," Part 4--"Schedule for Rating
Disabilities." The rating schedule is "primarily a guide in the evaluation of
disability resulting from all types of diseases and injuries encountered as a result
of or incident to military service. The percentage ratings represent as far as can
practicably be determined the average impairment in earning capacity resulting from
such diseases and injuries and their residual conditions in civil occupations."
Part 4 contains a listing of hundreds of possible disorders and assigns ratings of
0 through 100 percent, with instructions for rating multiple disorders.
Reserve and National Guard membership refers only to Gulf War-era veterans who are
current or past members of the Reserve or National Guard. Members of the Reserve and
National Guard are counted as veterans if they had ever been called to active duty.
These data do not refer to all persons who may have ever served in the Reserve or
National Guard. Reserve or National Guard status is obtained from answers to two
questions. Gulf War-era veterans were asked: "Was any of your active service the
result of a call-up from the Reserve or National Guard?" If the answer was no, they
were asked, "Have you ever been a member of the Reserve or National Guard?" A 'yes'
response to either question classified persons as "Current or past member of the
Reserve or National Guard." A 'no' response to the latter question classified
persons as "Never a member of the Reserve or National Guard."
Reliability of the estimates
Statistics based on the CPS are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error.
When a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance that
the sample estimates will differ from the true population values they represent. The
component of this difference that occurs because samples differ by chance is known as
sampling error, and its variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate.
There is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, that an estimate based on
a sample will differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors from the true population
value because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent
level of confidence.
The CPS data also are affected by nonsampling error. Nonsampling error can occur
for many reasons, including the failure to sample a segment of the population, the
inability to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, the inability or
unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information, and errors made in the
collection or processing of the data.
Information about the reliability of national data from the CPS and estimating
standard errors is available at www.bls.gov/cps/documentation.htm#reliability.
For a discussion of the reliability of state estimates from the CPS, such as those
in table 6 of this release, see www.bls.gov/opub/gp/gpapndb.htm.

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. 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).

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. 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).

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. 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).

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. 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.

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, are subject to relatively large standard errors.
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. Dash represents or rounds to zero.
