That\u2019s roughly the same level as May and June, and down from around 350,000 one year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">July was the fifth consecutive month that the veterans unemployment level was under 3%, the longest such streak since at least the start of 2000. (Public BLS data on veterans only extends back to that mark).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From March to November 2000, the rate was below 3.0% eight out of nine consecutive months.<\/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\/2022\/06\/03\/unemployed-veterans-dropped-by-more-than-half-a-million-in-last-two-years\/\" 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=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21007723995341.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\">Unemployed veterans dropped by more than half-a-million in last two years<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Veterans unemployment has been less than 3.0% for three consecutive months.<\/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\">The positive news for veterans comes amid improvement in the overall American job market as well. The national unemployment rate fell from 3.6% in June to 3.5% in July as the economy added about 528,000 jobs last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement, President Joe Biden hailed the jobs news as evidence the country is recovering from the still ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The national unemployment rate spiked to more than 14 percent in spring 2020 as companies were forced to shut down operations in an attempt to stop the virus\u2019 spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMore people are working than at any point in American history,\u201d Biden said. \u201cThat\u2019s millions of families with the dignity and peace of mind that a paycheck provides \u2026 There\u2019s more work to do, but today\u2019s jobs report shows we are making significant progress for working families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials from the Republican National Committee noted that the positive unemployment numbers do not address rising inflation across the country, which they say presents a bigger challenge to American families.<\/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\/2022\/07\/08\/veterans-unemployment-rate-under-3-for-nearly-all-eras-of-service\/\" 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=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21057714700607.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\">Veterans unemployment rate under 3% for nearly all eras of service<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Last month, veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars posted their lowest unemployment rate in three years.<\/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\">The unemployment rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan war era rose from 2.9% in June to 3.4% in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, researchers have warned that smaller sampling sizes in the BLS research can lead to dramatic month-to-month swings in those figures. The number of young veterans out of work has remained around 130,000 since early 2021, according to the bureau\u2019s estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 8.5 million veterans are in the U.S. workforce today. That\u2019s about 45% of the nation\u2019s veterans population. Individuals who have retired or are unable to work because of service injuries are not included in the monthly unemployment calculations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news
