Abstract: This paper used microdata from the 2013-2015 American Community Survey to examine differences in federal government, state and local government, private sector, and selfemployment among employed veterans and non-veterans. U.S. federal and state governments have hiring preferences to benefit veterans, especially disabled veterans. Other factors may also push veterans toward public sector employment. I found that veteran status substantially increased the likelihood of federal employment, with the largest magnitudes for severely disabled veterans. Differences in state and local government employment were modest and exhibited heterogeneity by disability severity.
