Does anyone know the unemployment rate for Veterans ? If 30 percent of the federal workforce is Vets, the number could get ugly quickly.
Any data out there ?

I didn't say this but someone told me, "The only good #Billionaire is a dead billionaire."
Apparently the f**ing GOP found a way around that.
Congratulations a**hole.
I borrowed it from them. ;)
1. One from VA telling him he is no longer considered disabled
2. One from Social Security telling him he owe’s $40k in clawbacks because they say he could’ve worked while he was recovering/re-learning to walk
And now he has to pay an atty to sue the shit out of them 🤬🤬
I won't be surprised if they 100% do away with retirement benefits.
Congress needs to come to the reality that 20 yrs of "war" created a large veteran population that deserves to be adequately funded and cared for.
Good luck with that.
Hard to have a sense of duty to attack Canada or Greenland!

Hard to say you care about vets when you fire a whole ton of vets and drive vets unemployment up

If you know any of them, share this number so they can be informed. You can refuse an unlawful order.
They yelled, and I pulled out the reg and said, "Put it in writing so I can call JAG
This is the distorted right version.

The unemployment rates for male veterans (2.9%) and female veterans (3.5%) changed little in 2024.
I’m sure cosplaying as someone with empathy plays well with the PR people though, or at least that’s what they tell you Mark.

For what.. Disabled?
The usual Govt career path is 20y military than Civil Service. Who wants to work in Govt service now?
When every job is political there’s no job security.
Why would you want to enlist anymore?
Don’t court of VA!
Dear Leader will declare that unemployment has fallen to levels "never seen before" and anyone who says otherwise is an enemy of America who will be disappeared to an El Salvadoran concentration camp

Let’s hope they can organize
The only way this country survives is if enough people wake up to the fact that they've been hoodwinked into voting against their self-interests.
That's the same as saying all brown people are criminals because a brown person did crimes once.
Fucking stop blaming an entire minority group when you look for an easy target.

I understand what you are saying though. So many good people that belong to certain groups are being punished by the cult members that voted for Trump. 🤷🏻♀️
It's so busy doing that it can't help with veterans and other federal workers elsewhere, so we've got to fight back that much harder!!
This is big
I don't feel they're part of the everybody i was talking about.
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/vets/latest-numbers
they are removing the people and departments that would track anything like that…
So that we can’t keep up to tell the truth on numbers needed
Hospitals do this, too. Playing numbers is what people in charge do.
Make data hard to get or validate purposefully
Keep chosen data easier
Fool the masses or keep them uninformed

The last documented number for those impacted was about 6,000.
However, I'm sure it'll be a lot higher this year 😞
There are currently 7.6 million open jobs in the U.S. DOGE's cuts might be rough and scary but to date less then 300k people have been fired.
Take control of your life, stop being a victim and go get another job.
Pretty sure there's magats 🐛 🐛 in there..
Who will do what?

As of February 2025, the unemployment rate for U.S. veterans was 4.1%, a slight decrease from 4.2% in January but an increase from 2.8% in December 2024.
This upward trend coincides with the Trump administration’s implementation of significant federal workforce reductions…
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has been a primary target, with plans announced to eliminate over 80,000 positions.
It’s important to note that the administration’s actions have faced legal challenges, leading to some reinstatements of federal workers…
You cannot cut thousands of positions in two months time and expect the economy to keep rolling on in good shape. This is something One should SRETCH OUT OVER a few years!

I personally get 70% with 3 titanium plates in my head from TBI, 3rd degree burns on my chest/stomach, and steel plates/screws in my left leg.
And the way disability is calculated is crazy. The math makes no sense.
I can do the math to calculate the increase if you'd like, wouldn't want a repeat of your little crypto snafu.
You folk understand where they are trying to go with this? We are in a Cold Civil War
At least that's the threat they made me. No idea if it's true.
I think it's actually only required every two years, but enough places conduct it annually.
And worse, maybe do something about them.
They have been lying about unemployment numbers for at least 60 yrs.
You are counted as unemployed only if eligible for unemployment insurance. Worked enough hours earlier, able to work, and actively looking now.
https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed
So anyone who’s been doordashing or whatever to get by? Invisible to the statistics.
UE beneficiaries are part of that number, but not the entire number.
In 2022, only 26% of recently unemployed applied for benefits.
Also between 40-60% of unhoused are employed.

There's so much untapped money for homeless vets available, every single one they can get on their rolls is like a guaranteed paycheck forever
First thing they all ask is "hey are you a veteran?"
You tell them no and they don't want you
I'm Now a disabled homeless diabetic living out of a broken down car. I can articulate anything u want to know. Ask away.
Most homeless are disabled, mentally ill, alcoholics, drug addicts, ex cons, illegals, people fleeing warrants & the gay son u threw out of ur house.
https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#concepts
So the homeless, retired and disabled people don’t get counted towards it.
Think of it as the number of active workers without jobs.

I would love to know if you have plans, not just for trumpism for the people of these united states

or are you just lucky?
In 2024, the annual avg unemployment rate for veterans was 3.0%, little change from 2023. 
Elon & Big Balls
could tell us
BTW I am looking forward to seeing your pics of your summer adventure!!! We are doing an early MT trip this year- excited.
My family does not deserve the harm being done in Montana. We voted too. We lost. Now we are fighting
just like Covid numbers, nobody is tracking it anymore yet thousands are still getting it and dying.
Sorry dude but America is cooked and this damage being done is generational.
Some say if fired you can't get unemployment...
Otherwise, if a person is terminated, they absolutely can collect unemployment.
A person can't collect if they quit.
Each state has different programs, there's no federal unemployment program only by state
they can be incentives for voluntarily quitting, but not firing
So, if they fire them, blaming performance, do they qualify for unemployment, or I guess gov assistance. Takeover
Fired=no unemployment payments
Besides complain…
Faced with rising unemployment and slashed services, distressed vets will make life ending choices.
Challenge the christofascist, oligarch psychopaths to prove otherwise. They own what is sadly coming.

February 2025:
The veteran unemployment rate was 4.0%, while the comparable non-veteran unemployment rate was also 4.0%.
January 2025:
The unemployment rate for all veterans spiked to 4.2%, up from 2.8% in December.

The veteran unemployment rate was 4.0% in February 2025, up from 3.8% the previous month and 2.8% the prior year.
HHS cut $12 billion in mental health and disease tracking grants, then laid off 10,000 more workers, including 3,500 from the FDA and 2,400 from the CDC.
FWIW, as others have already posted.

ICYDK, the maj' of those w/o stable residence hide it from public 👀. You possibly know someone who is, you just don't know they're homeless. Public stigma.
In 2024, the US veteran unemployment rate was 3.0%, lower than the non-veteran rate of 3.9%, with little change from the previous year.
Numbers to answer that question.
There isn’t a window high enough for this mother fucker
“Analyses showed over one-third (35%) of veterans reported credit card debt, significantly higher than non-veterans.”
