It\u2019s the highest that figure has been since early 2018, and the fifth time in the last six months that figure has increased since the young veteran unemployment rate hit a<a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/news\/employment\/2019\/05\/03\/best-vet-unemployment-rate-ever-april-brings-new-record\/\" target=_blank> historic low of 1.7 percent in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figure translates into about 157,000 younger veterans looking for work. The overall veterans unemployment rate dropped from 3.5 percent in August to 3.1 percent in September.<\/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\/08\/02\/veterans-unemployment-rose-slightly-in-july-still-sits-below-national-estimates\/\" 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=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/5090470.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 rose slightly in July, still sits below national estimates<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">About 316,000 former military members were jobless and searching for employers last month.<\/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\">Employment experts have cautioned against focusing too closely on monthly changes in unemployment for sub-groups within the Labor Department\u2019s surveys of American workers, because small changes in sample sizes can produce significant moves in the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with the increases, the monthly post-9\/11 numbers are still significantly below figures from two years ago, when the rates topped 4.5 percent six times, and in 2016, when the rates topped that mark eight times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nationally, the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, the lowest since December of 1969. President Donald Trump applauded the news on Twitter Friday morning and also used it to take a shot at congressional Democrats pursuing an impeachment investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 136,000 jobs were added to the national economy last month, slightly below analysts\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3.1 percent unemployment rate for all veterans translates into about 280,000 veterans nationwide looking for work last month.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The jobless rate for
