Veteran Employment Outcomes

Veteran Employment Outcomes

Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO) show earnings and employment outcomes for U.S. military veterans who completed their initial term of active-duty service. Earnings and employment outcomes are available for veterans of the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.

VEO are generated by linking veteran records provided by the U.S. Department of Defense to national administrative data on jobs at the U.S. Census Bureau. Coverage includes veterans' labor market outcomes one, five, and 10 years after discharge, by military occupation, rank, demographics (age, sex, race, ethnicity, education), industry and geography of employment.
