Veterans in the Labor Force: 6 Stats

"November is National Veterans and Military Families Month, when we honor and recognize the service of U.S. veterans. Here are six stats about veterans in the labor force you may not know.

 

1. Four major occupational groups have higher concentrations of veterans than nonveterans.

Following the Current Population Survey (CPS) occupational classification, out of the 10 major occupation groups, four have statistically higher concentrations of veterans than nonveterans (see Employment Situation of Veterans – 2020, Table 4).

For example, 11% of all veterans work in the transportation and material moving occupations group compared with 7% of nonveterans. 

 

2. Two occupational groups have a higher concentration of women veterans than men.
