 VETERANS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE DROPS— AGAIN

 
Each month, the Veterans' Employment & Training Service (VETS) reviews data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide an overview of veteran & nonveteran employment statistics. The update includes unemployment information by veteran status, gender, and post-9/11 era service, as well as state-by-state data and growth of industry sectors nationwide. Also included are graphs showing unemployment trends over the last 24 months.
 
In February, the veteran unemployment rate maintained a lower level than the overall unemployment rate. This continues a 24- month trend with a single exception, when veteran unemployment was 0.1 percent higher than overall unemployment in December 2015.
 
According to the report, the sectors with the greatest number of veterans employer are education and health services (629,000) and professional and business services (623,000). The only sector showing a decline in veterans’ employment was mining and logging (-134,000).
