1993 Employment Situation of Veterans — 1994-10-21

The labor market situation of veterans who served in the Vietnam war theater was little different from that of other Vietnam-era veterans or their nonveteran peers, according to the results of a September 1993 survey issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. The survey also showed that about 10 percent of Vietnam-era veterans had a service-connected disability and that about half of the veterans had participated in special education and training programs. This survey of veterans was conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau of the Census as a special supplement to the September 1993 Current Population Survey (CPS). It was co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. For a description of the survey, including a definition of terms used in this release, see the Technical Note.
