Around 16 percent of U.S. veterans and active service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound while serving in the military on or after September 11, 2001 who responded to the annual Wounded Warrior Project Survey in 2022 reported feeling down, depressed, or hopeless nearly every day in the past two weeks. The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a U.S. charity and veteran organization for veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound while serving in the military on or after September 11, 2001. This statistic shows the distribution of U.S. veterans and active service members of the WWP bothered by various problems in the two weeks prior to being surveyed in 2022, by frequency.

This graph shows the distribution of injuries among U.S. military veterans with service-related injuries as of 2021. In that year, it was found that ** percent of veterans with a service related injury had PTSD, and ** percent had depression.

This comprehensive report chronicles the history of women in the military and as Veterans, profiles the characteristics of women Veterans in 2009, illustrates how women Veterans in 2009 utilized some of the major benefits and services offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and discusses the future of women Veterans in relation to VA. The goal of this report is to gain an understanding of who our women Veterans are, how their military service affects their post-military lives, and how they can be better served based on these insights.

In 2022, the leading causes of death among veterans in the United States were heart disease, cancer, and unintentional injuries. Heart disease and cancer account for the majority of deaths among U.S. veterans, which is also true for people in the United States in general. The leading causes of death among veterans vs the U.S. as a whole Although the leading causes of death for U.S. veterans are similar to the overall leading causes of death in the United States, there are some differences. For example, even though heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death for the entire United States and veterans specifically, death rates for both heart disease and cancer are much higher among veterans. In 2022, the death rate for heart disease among veterans was around 239 per 100,000 population, compared to an overall rate of 167 per 100,000 population for the United States. Another clear difference is that while suicide was the seventh leading cause of death among veterans in 2022, it was not among the leading ten causes of death for the United States as a whole. Suicide among veterans Given the stressful and often dangerous work of U.S. military personnel, the mental health of U.S. veterans remains a prevalent issue. In 2022, it was estimated that around 7.6 percent of U.S. veterans aged 18 to 49 years had serious thoughts of suicide in the past year, while 1.4 percent made suicide plans, and .4 percent attempted suicide. That year there were around 6,407 suicide deaths among veterans in the United States. Veterans suffering from substance use disorders or mental health conditions are much more likely to die from suicide than veterans who do not have such disorders.

In 2022, substance use was more frequent among U.S. veterans with mental illness. Around 37 percent of veterans over the age of 18 with any mental illness reported illicit drug use in the past year. The statistic illustrates the percentage of U.S. veterans aged 18 years and over who reported using select substances in the past year as of 2022, by mental health status.

In 2022, about 1.4 million veterans were living in Texas - the most out of any state. Florida, California, Pennsylvania, and Virginia rounded out the top five states with the highest veteran population in that year.

Analysis of ‘Veteran Employment Outcomes’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/mpwolke/cusersmarildownloadsvetcsv on 28 January 2022.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

Context

Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO) are new experimental U.S. Census Bureau statistics on labor market outcomes for recently discharged Army veterans. These statistics are tabulated by military specialization, service characteristics, employer industry (if employed), and veteran demographics. They are generated by matching service member information with a national database of jobs, using state-of-the-art confidentiality protection mechanisms to protect the underlying data.

https://lehd.ces.census.gov/data/veo_experimental.html

Content

"The VEO are made possible through data sharing partnerships between the U.S. Army, State Labor Market Information offices, and the U.S. Census Bureau. VEO data are currently available at the state and national level."

"Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO) are experimental tabulations developed by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program in collaboration with the U.S. Army and state agencies. VEO data provides earnings and employment outcomes for Army veterans by rank and military occupation, as well as veteran and employer characteristics. VEO are currently released as a research data product in "experimental" form."

"The source of veteran information in the VEO is administrative record data from the Department of the Army, Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis. This personnel data contains fields on service member characteristics, such as service start and end dates, occupation, pay grade, characteristics at entry (e.g. education and test scores), and demographic characteristics (e.g. sex, race, and ethnicity). Once service member records are transferred to the Census Bureau, personally-identifying information is stripped and veterans are assigned a Protected Identification Key (PIK) that allows for them to be matched with their employment outcomes in Census Bureau jobs data."

Earnings, and Employment Concepts

Earnings "Earnings are total annual earnings for attached workers from all jobs, converted to 2018 dollars using the CPI-U. For the annual earnings tabulations, we impose two labor force attachment restrictions. First, we drop veterans who earn less than the annual equivalent of full-time work at the prevailing federal minimum wage. Additionally, we drop veterans with two or more quarters with no earnings in the reference year. These workers are likely to be either marginally attached to the labor force or employed in non-covered employment."

Employment

"While most VEO tabulations include earnings from all jobs, tabulations by employer characteristics only consider the veteran's main job for that year. Main jobs are defined as the job for which veterans had the highest earnings in the reference year. To attach employer characteristics to that job, we assign industry and geography from the highest earnings quarter with that employer in the year. For multi-establishment firms, we use LEHD unit-to-worker imputations to assign workers to establishments, and then assign industry and geography."
