Veterans in the United States: Statistics and Resources presents the
most pertinent and compelling statistics in one easy-to-follow,
useful, and informative volume. Data related to veterans is scattered
between federal departments. This volume’s mission is to present the
most pertinent and compelling statistics in one easy-to-follow,
useful, and informative volume. Each part is preceded by highlights of
salient data along with figures. The tables contain a wide range of
information including educational attainment, employment status,
period of military service, and much more. Notes and definitions along
with a reference guide for veterans and those who work to support them
are provided at the end of the book. Part 1 includes veteran status by
age, race/ethnicity, period of service, and more. It looks at veterans
living in poverty, educational attainment of veterans, and breakdowns
of major topics by urban and rural areas and by state. When available
and when not prohibitive in length, the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year
estimates are provided for all tables. Part 2 uses data from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics to investigate veterans in the labor force.
The employment-population ratio, the unemployment rate, and employment
by period of service and demographic characteristics are examined in
these tables. Part 3 represents the information collected by the
Department of Veterans Affairs itself. This information covers a
wide-ranging set of issues, including interments, veteran-related
expenditures, projected population in the armed forces through
September 2043, number of living veterans in each state, veterans
employed in the federal government, and disability ratings and
compensation.
