U.S. Department of Labor Veterans’ Employment and Training Service Annual Report to Congress Fiscal Year 2021

Excerpt:  “In calendar year (CY) 2021, the average veteran unemployment rate was 4.4 percent which was lower than the nonveteran unemployment rate of 5.3 percent. CY 2021 proved to be a recovery period for veterans and nonveterans, as unemployment rates were lower than CY 2020 for both groups. The nonveterans’ unemployment rates decreased by a larger proportion, however, through the collective work of VETS and its partners, we have seen veteran unemployment rates consistently below that of non-veterans.” (footnote omitted)
