*Census Bureau Releases New Veteran Employment Outcomes*

VEO Explorer Update [ [link removed] ]

The U.S. Census Bureau today released an expanded version of Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO) [ [link removed] ], an experimental data product showing earnings and employment outcomes for veterans of the U.S. armed forces.

Launched in 2020, VEO initially covered labor market outcomes for U.S. Army veterans. The update expands VEO coverage to also include data on Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard veterans discharged between 2002 and 2021. (There are not statistics available yet for members of the Space Force, established in December 2019.) These data show earnings and employment outcomes of more than 2.8 million formerly enlisted service members.

Coverage includes labor market outcomes one, five and 10 years after discharge, by military occupation, rank, demographics, industry and geography of employment. Among the findings, veterans with more specialized military training and work experience had higher civilian earnings and employment rates than infantry and combat veterans.

*What Are Veterans’ Job Prospects After They Serve?*

More than 2.8 million enlisted service members were honorably discharged from the military across all six branches between 2002 and 2021. How did they fare when they returned to the civilian labor force?

New U.S. Census Bureau data illustrate how veterans made the move to civilian jobs by their branch of service, occupation and when they left the military.

This initial transition to civilian employment marks a crucial step for veterans as they navigate the many challenges associated with leaving military service.

The Census Bureau has partnered with the Department of Defense (DOD) to update and expand the experimental Veterans Employment Outcomes (VEO) data first released in 2020. VEO previously featured data on U.S. Army veterans and now includes all branches of the military as well as additional veteran cohorts.
