Rather than focusing on any one month&#8217;s rate, statisticians recommend looking for larger trends over a period of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>For the past two years, employment for post-9\/11 veterans, a measure that started in September 2008, has been nearing, breaking and re-breaking all-time record lows. The annual rate for the group in 2015 was 5.8 percent, the lowest ever recorded and a significant drop from the 2014 annual rate of 7.2 percent, which was itself a record low<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> when it came out<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, the U.S. added 215,000 jobs in March, while the U.S. unemployment rate ticked to 5.0 percent from the February rate of 4.9 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For veterans of all generations, unemployment rose to 4.5 percent in March, up from 4.1 percent in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1282\" height=\"1323\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635951117878834722-march-ratespng.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-102527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635951117878834722-march-ratespng.png 1282w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635951117878834722-march-ratespng.png?resize=291,300 291w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635951117878834722-march-ratespng.png?resize=768,793 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635951117878834722-march-ratespng.png?resize=992,1024 992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1282px) 100vw, 1282px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>March unemployment rates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Photo Credit: Staff<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March&#8217;s result is the lowest March rate ever recorded for the group, according to government data.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":102522,"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":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"4":{"categories":["education-transition"],"primary_category":""},"5":{"categories":["education-transition"],"primary_category":""},"6":{"categories":["education-transition"],"primary_category":""},"7":{"categories":["education-transition"],"primary_category":""}}},"categories":[9,25],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1149],"class_list":["post-113910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education-transition","category-veterans"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"3UTDXM5FPVDQBGQ45PTZJOOZK4","arc_canonical_url":"\/education-transition\/jobs\/2016\/04\/01\/post-9-11-veteran-unemployment-is-up-in-march-still-among-record-lows\/","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>Post-9\/11 veteran unemployment is up in March, still among record lows - Military Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"March&#039;s result is the lowest March rate ever recorded for the group, according to government data.\" \/>\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=\"Post-9\/11 veteran unemployment is up in March, still among record lows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"March&#039;s result is the lowest March rate ever recorded for the group, according to government data.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/education-transition\/2016\/04\/01\/post-9-11-veteran-unemployment-is-up-in-march-still-among-record-lows\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Military Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-04-01T15:05:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T13:25:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"George R.
