Annual VEVRAA Hiring Benchmark is 6.4 Percent
Today the 2018 Annual Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) hiring benchmark was updated on the VEVRAA Benchmark Database. Effective on March 31, 2018, the new benchmark is 6.4%.
Looking for prior national percentages? View a chart of the annual national percentage of veterans in the civilian labor force from prior years on the Annual VEVRAA Benchmark Effective Dates page.
National and state information has also been updated in the VEVRAA Benchmark Database for federal contractors and subcontractors who calculate an individualized hiring benchmark using the five-factor method.

OFCCP Compliance Evaluation Experience Survey
In a continued effort to provide compliance assistance, OFCCP will be sending out a survey to gather more information about how we can continue improving communication, transparency, and timeliness during our compliance evaluations.
If you’re a contractor that completed a compliance evaluation between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2017, watch your inbox over the next two weeks for a survey from OFCCP.
The survey, deployed electronically via SurveyMonkey, will collect information on contractors’ experiences during compliance evaluations to identify areas where OFCCP can strengthen its outreach, education, training, and processes. On the survey form, you will have the opportunity to provide concrete suggestions for improving your interaction with OFCCP. Your input on this survey helps OFCCP make the process more effective and identify possible areas of compliance assistance that might be strengthened during future compliance evaluations.
We know that some of you may have concerns about anonymity. To address these concerns, OFCCP selected the option in SurveyMonkey that makes survey responses anonymous. Moreover, SurveyMonkey is not collecting or sharing data with OFCCP that would personally identify survey respondents, including their IP address. We will never schedule a contractor for a compliance evaluation based on participation in this survey. Additionally, because the survey is anonymous, your participation will have no impact on any compliance evaluation that is already underway. You will remain anonymous to us, and we will only use the information you submit to determine what we are doing well and where we may need to improve.
Have questions about the survey? Please email the OFCCP at OFCCP-Customer-Exp-Survey@dol.gov.
