The U.S. Census Bureau and the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership in collaboration with the Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) and the Labor Market Information (LMI) Institute, welcomes David Wasser as he presents, “Exploring the Enhanced Veteran Employment Outcomes Data Tool.” Recently the U.S. Census Bureau released an expanded version of Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO). The updated experimental data product now includes earnings and employment outcomes for veterans honorably discharged between 2002 and 2021 as well as from additional branches of the Armed Services. These data show important differences across military rank and occupation, regardless of the branch of service. The Census Bureau partnered with the Department of Defense to update and expand VEO. Earnings and employment outcomes of more than 2.8 million enlisted service members are available.

David Wasser is a labor economist in the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau (LEHD Group). His research focuses on labor market monopsony, and labor market institutions. Wasser received his PhD in Economics from Cornell University.
