Department of Virginia,

 

As with the first Friday of each month, the BLS employment statistics were released today.  Attached is a monthly ‘cheat sheet’ for use and information.  The national unemployment rate for August 2017 increased slightly from 4.3% to 4.4% and the Veteran unemployment numbers for August 2017 increased from 3.5% to 3.7%.  

 

Thanks to all of you who are working directly or indirectly, to ensure our Veterans have meaningful employment.
