Income of Black Working-Age Veterans

Congressional Budget Office

No 60043, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: CBO compared economic outcomes from 2017 to 2019 of veterans who are Black, male, and working age (ages 22 to 54) with outcomes of two groups of working-age men: Black nonveterans and White veterans. The agency found that, on average, Black veterans had more earnings, higher rates of marriage and homeownership, and greater educational attainment than Black nonveterans did. But the average earnings of Black veterans and Black nonveterans did not differ among men with similar demographic characteristics (age, marital status, level of education, and region of residence).
