Between 2000 and 2011, younger veterans were more likely to be unemployed than
younger non-veterans. This difference falls rapidly with age and time. The evidence supports
the hypothesis that veteran unemployment reflects engagement in job search. There is little
evidence that veterans are disadvantaged in the labor market. Limiting benefits to veterans
might reduce the length of unemployment spells, but the budgetary effect is unclear.
