That figure translates into about 552,000 veterans looking for employment last month, out of roughly 8.7 million working-age veterans who are able to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, the rate among Iraq and Afghanistan War era veterans \u2014 who make up the largest percentage of veterans in the American workforce today \u2014 rose from 6.2 percent in October to 6.9 percent in November. Unemployment among the earlier generation of veterans (Gulf War era) declined from 5.3 percent in October to 4.7 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/military-honor\/salute-veterans\/2020\/11\/27\/remote-work-could-be-silver-lining-of-pandemic-for-some-veterans-including-those-with-ptsd\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1216296625.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Remote work could be silver lining of pandemic for some veterans, including those with PTSD<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Remote work options, which have increased since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, could benefit veterans with complex medical needs or PTSD.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with the increase, the overall veterans jobless rate remains better than the national figure. The month veterans estimate has only been higher than the national rate once in the last four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among all U.S. workers, the unemployment rate fell from 6.9 percent in October to 6.7 percent in November. It\u2019s more than double what it was one year ago, before the coronavirus concerns prompted partial quarantines across the country and forced thousands of businesses into furloughs and layoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The national unemployment rate rose as high as 14.7 percent this spring because of the pandemic, but has now declined each of the last seven months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, BLS officials reported on Friday that the number of long-term unemployed Americans (individuals who have been looking for work for 27 weeks or more) rose again in November, to about 3.9 million. That\u2019s more than a third of the entire unemployed population.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/education-transition\/2020\/11\/19\/these-are-the-states-and-jobs-where-veterans-make-the-most-money\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/hill-and-ponton-1.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">These are the states and jobs where veterans make the most money<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">These are the careers and states where veterans stand to make more than their civilian counterparts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In past years, November and December have usually meant lower unemployment estimates as more Americans find part-time, seasonal work.
