Transitioning From the Military to the Civilian Workforce: The Role of Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers

Abstract

People who leave the military often face different challenges when searching for civilian employment than people who move from one civilian job to another. The recession of 2007 to 2009 increased policymakers focus on how well veterans who left active-duty service during or after the recession have fared in the civilian labor market. In its new report Labor Force Experiences of Recent Veterans, the Congressional Budget Office compares the labor market outcomes of veterans who have left active-duty service since September 2001 with the outcomes of civilians (people who have never served on active duty in the armed forces).1 In this companion report, CBO describes the use of unemployment benefits among service members who have recently transitioned to the civilian workforce.
