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 serviceconnected 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.)
-2-
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 Warera 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 serviceconnected 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).
-3-
Among veterans who served during Gulf War era II, nearly 3 in 10 (827,000) reported having a serviceconnected 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.)

Adjustments to Veteran Population Estimates
Effective with data for January 2013, estimates for veterans incorporate population controls
derived from an updated Department of Veterans Affairs’ population model. In accordance
with usual practice, BLS did not revise estimates for previous years. Information about the
updated veteran population model is available from the Department of Veterans Affairs at
http://www1.va.gov/vetdata/Veteran_Population.asp.

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 serviceconnected 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 serviceconnected 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."
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 90percent 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 90percent 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.
Reliability of the estimates
Statistics based on the CPS are subject to both
sampling and nonsampling error. When a s ample, rather
than the entire population, is surveyed, there is a chance
that the sample estimates will differ from the true
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.

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.
