Labor Force Experiences of Recent Veterans

Abstract

CBO examined rates of labor force participation and unemployment over the 2008–2015 period for male veterans who left active duty service after September 2001. Overall, CBO found that rates for veterans were similar to those for men who had never served on active duty in the military. Accounting for differences in the average demographic characteristics, veterans who were neither in school nor functionally disabled had about the same labor force experiences as their civilian counterparts, although the youngest veterans had somewhat higher unemployment rates.
