Unemployment for the group was at 4.7 percent in August. In September of last year, 6.2 percent of such veterans were unemployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the nation as a whole, unemployment stood at 5.1 percent in September, as\u00a0142,000 people were added to payrolls across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Statisticians caution against focusing too much on any single month&#8217;s data report. Yet the numbers recorded in the middle of this calendar year chart a clear and unambiguous trend of stunningly low unemployment for the latest generation of veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last five months, four of the monthly unemployment rates for this group have been either the lowest or the second-lowest ever recorded at the time they came out. The government began tracking employment for post-9\/11 veterans in September\u00a02008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"575\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635797552057412088-unemployment-masterpng.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635797552057412088-unemployment-masterpng.png 600w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635797552057412088-unemployment-masterpng.png?resize=300,288 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Although the monthly unemployment rate among the newest vets ticked up in September to 5 percent, the overall annual rate is on track among the lowest rates since this group was first tracked in 2008. The chart below compares the newest vets&#8217; annual rates with the rates of all non-veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Photo Credit: K. Chamberlain\/Staff<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This success comes after the group was rocked hard by the recession;\u00a02010 and 2011 each saw just one month in which the unemployment rate was below 10 percent. In January 2011, the jobless rate for post-9\/11 vets\u00a0reached an all-time high of 15.2 percent, more\u00a0than three times the latest number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The employment situation steadily improved over the next two years and began gaining momentum even more quickly in 2014, when more than half of the monthly unemployment rates were charted at 7 percent or lower. So far this year, nearly half of the monthly rates have been below 6 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employment is similarly rosy for veterans as a whole, though this larger group is not charting the record-breaking lows that post-9\/11 vets are. The September unemployment rate for veterans of all generations was 4.3 percent, up just a tick from the August rate of 4.2 percent and down slightly from the 4.7 percent rate recorded in September 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unemployment for post-9\/11 vets ticked up slightly in September but remains near an all-time low.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":87989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":7,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1064],"class_list":["post-43206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education-transition"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"LR2KRQGVARFUPDJ5LAV6YJSHZI","arc_canonical_url":"\/education-transition\/2015\/10\/02\/unemployment-for-newest-vets-still-near-all-time-low\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Unemployment for newest vets still near all-time low - Marine Corps Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Unemployment for post-9\/11 vets ticked up slightly in September but remains near an all-time low.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Unemployment for newest vets still near all-time low\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Unemployment for post-9\/11 vets ticked up slightly in September but remains near an all-time low.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/education-transition\/2015\/10\/02\/unemployment-for-newest-vets-still-near-all-time-low\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Marine Corps Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-10-02T15:30:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T07:23:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"George R.
