A study by Abt Associates showed 18% unemployment for servicemembers discharged from 2004-2006. Things haven’t been so rosy since then so we imagine the numbers might even worse today. The study also showed significantly more unemployment for veterans when compared to non-vets even when the demographics were broken down by sex, race, age, marital status, and education levels.
