Description/Abstract
The August 2025 Employment Situation Report highlights largely stable labor trends for veterans, with overall veteran unemployment rising slightly to 3.1 percent. Post‑9/11 veterans saw a small decline to 3.0 percent. Unemployment varied by age, with noticeable increases among veterans aged 18–24 and 35–44, while rates declined for those 55–64. Female veteran unemployment remained unchanged at 4.4 percent, and male veteran unemployment increased slightly to 2.9 percent. Across most demographic groups, veterans continued to experience lower unemployment rates than their nonveteran peers, though monthly fluctuations remained common.
