This technical report explores recent trends in the unemployment of recent veterans as estimated the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS). While CPS data indicates that veteran youth unemployment increased relative to nonveteran youth unemployment between 2003 and 2005, the changes in unemployment for the same groups over the same period in the ACS data are not statistically significant.
