Summary
The study examined whether deployment experiences, health, demographic, and militaryrelated characteristics were associated with civilian employment after military service. Of the 9,099 former U.S. Active Duty Service members in the study, 17% were unemployed after military service. Mental health symptoms, race, gender, education, and physical health were found to be associated with unemployment after separation from the military.
