Abstract: The Veterans Supplement to the Current Population Survey is conducted annually. This supplement is co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service. Data collected through this supplement will be used by the co-sponsors to determine policies that better meet the needs of our Nation's veteran population. The supplement provides information on the labor force status of veterans with a service-connected disability, combat veterans, past or present National Guard and Reserve members, and recently discharged veterans. Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam veterans are identified by location of service. Also, questions include items about veterans’ transition from Active Duty to civilian employment, details about working with service-connected disabilities, awareness of VA benefits, and work duties while in the Armed Forces. Data are provided by period of service and a range of demographic characteristics. The supplement also provides information on veterans’ participation in various transition and employment and training programs. Respondents are veterans who are not currently on active duty or are members of a household where a veteran lives.
