Veterans who served in the two Gulf wars – between August 1990 and August 2001, and September 2001 and later – are more likely to hold jobs than their civilian counterparts. The numbers come from the U.S. Census Bureau via Morning Muster, a blog provided by Bergmann and Moore, a veterans-advocacy law firm in Washington, D.C. According to the latest statistics by the U.S. Census Bureau, 12.1 percent of male veterans of the first Gulf War held full-time management positions, compared with 13.2 percent of their civilian counterparts. Among male veterans of the second Gulf War with full-time jobs, 13.2 percent held jobs in protective-service professions. Among female veterans of both Gulf wars, 17 percent of those with full-time jobs worked in health care – compared to 10 percent among non-veteran women. Roughly 5 percent of female veterans of the two Gulf wars with full-time jobs worked in protective service, compared to 1 percent of their civilian counterparts. Veterans of the Gulf wars of both sexes were more likely to work in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professions than their civilian counterparts.
