It\u2019s the third consecutive month the unemployment estimate has declined, and puts overall veterans unemployment at its lowest mark since May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The national unemployment figure went the opposite direction, rising to 3.6 percent in October from 3.5 percent the previous month. Economic experts have blamed the month-long General Motors strike for some of that national increase.<\/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\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2019\/10\/27\/should-companies-look-to-future-skills-instead-of-just-resumes-when-hiring-veterans\/\" 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=\"206\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6732750207_bfb6803a9f_o.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\">Should companies look to future skills instead of just resumes when hiring veterans?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Companies attending the second Military Times\/Vets Indexes employment conference were challenged to think more broadly about why veterans may be top candidates for open jobs.<\/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\">October marked the 18th consecutive month that veterans unemployment has been lower than the national rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Younger veterans also saw good news in the monthly jobs report.
