Employment of Veterans
in the
Federal Executive Branch
Fiscal Year 2015
OPM.GOVNOVEMBER 2016
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, the Executive Branch of the Federal Government hired approximately
6,000 more veterans versus FY 2014, for a veteran new hire percentage rate of 32.5 percent.
Additionally, in FY 2015 the Federal Government hired approximately 221,000 new employees
as compared to approximately 180,000 new employees in FY 2014 -- an increase of
approximately 41,000 total new hires. Of those 221,000 hired, approximately 71,000 were
veterans, equaling 32.5 percent of total new hires; and 31,000 were disabled veterans new
hires, equaling 14.3 percent of total new hires.
In FY 2015, as the number of total Federal employees onboard increased from 1,990,000 in FY
2014 to 2,016,000, the total number of veterans onboard saw an increase from 612,000 to
approximately 623,000. Veterans currently represent 30.9 percent of the workforce, as
compared to 25.8 percent in FY 2009, where veterans represented approximately 512,000 out
of 1,983,000 employees.
FY 2015 is also the first year we are reporting agency outcomes based on the Councils new
Veteran Employment Performance Model based on four veteran employment metrics: Veteran
New Hires, Disabled Veteran New Hires, Veterans on-board, and Veteran Retention Rates. As
the Vice-Chair of the Council, I am proud to say that our overall Government-wide veteran
employment performance for FY 2015 has been good with 67 percent (16) of our 24 Council
Agencies assessed at Effective (E) or higher. Additionally, the issue of veteran retention has
long been an area of focus for the Council and I want to congratulate member agencies for their
performance on veteran retention, as 79 percent of Council agencies were assessed Effective or
above in veteran retention for FY 2015.
INTRODUCTION
The EMPLOYMENT OF VETERANS IN THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE BRANCH report
is produced annually by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide
useful data on the employment of veterans within the Federal Executive Branch.
This report covers those organizations identified in Executive Order 13518, which
account for approximately 97.8 percent of all Federal employees and 99.1 percent of all
veterans employed in the Federal Executive Branch. The appendices provide additional
information on the affected agencies and abbreviations used within the report.
The source of Federal employment data is OPMs Enterprise Human Resources
Integration Statistical Data Mart. The information represents Federal employment
as of September 30, 2015.
The primary elements used to identify veterans for Federal employment purposes
are Veteran Status, Veterans Preference, Creditable Military Service, Annuitant Code,
and Legal Authorities Codes. Veterans preference is defined in Section 2108 of Title 5,
United States Code (U.S.C.), which presents the criteria used in determining whether a
person is entitled to statutory hiring preference under 5 U.S.C. 3309 and 3313. Veteran
status indicates whether an individual is a veteran as defined by 38 U.S.C. 101 (i.e., a
person who served in the active military force and was released or discharged under
honorable conditions).
Creditable Military Service is defined as military service that is creditable for annual
leave accrual purposes. The Annuitant Code identifies employees who are retired
from the military and Legal Authority Codes identify employees who were hired under
special hiring authorities such as Veterans Recruitment Appointment (VRA), Veterans
Employment Opportunity Act of 1998, as amended (VEOA), or 30% or more Disabled
Veteran appointments.
FY 2015 Employment of Veterans in the Federal Executive Branch reporting
also includes Appendix 4, the new Veteran Employment Performance
Model for FY 2015 2017, which demonstrates the criteria by which agency
performance is rated under the Veterans Employment Initiative.
