And the unemployment rate for veterans with a service-connected disability declined to 3.4 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans unemployment has been a particular focus of the White House and Congress in recent years, with research showing that making a successful transition to civilian life can ease a host of potential stressors for military families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BLS report found that nearly one in four veterans (23%) are employed in local, state or federal government jobs, about the same rate as 2020. For comparison, only about 13% of non-veterans hold salaried government posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 9% of veterans held jobs in the education and health services sector in 2021, an increase of almost 1% from 2019 levels. Manufacturing (12%) and business services jobs (10%) are the only private-sector industries with higher veteran participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other side, veterans as a group saw a significant decrease in those professional services posts (down 1.5%) and hospitality service jobs (down 1%, to about 3% of all veteran jobs) over the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a

population, veterans were more likely to find jobs than their civilian peers in sectors like manufacturing (12% for veterans vs. 9% for non-veterans) and transportation (8% vs. 5%) but less likely to work in education and health (9% vs. 16%) and retail trade (8% vs. 10%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unemployment for veterans significantly outperformed civilian job rates in 2021 (4.4% vs. 5.3%) and researchers saw improvement across all generations of veterans looking for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden called that \u201chistoric progress\u201d and said the data shows government efforts are \u201cproviding veterans with the tools and resources for economic opportunity, security, and dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
