Post‑9/11 veteran unemployment also declined to 3.1 percent. Younger veterans experienced major improvements, with unemployment among those aged 18–24 falling from 6.2 percent to 1.8 percent. Most veteran age groups saw declines, except ages 35–44 and 55–64, which saw slight increases. Male veteran unemployment decreased to 2.7 percent, while female veteran unemployment held steady at 4.4 percent. Overall, veterans continued to maintain lower unemployment rates than nonveterans.
