Bank Notes: "Veterans in the Labor Force"
Veterans are 22% more likely to be out of the labor force than comparable nonveterans, according to New York Fed research from May 2023.  In this episode, experts working across the military-connected population speak to the reasons behind the participation gap, also debunking some of the most widely held misperceptions surrounding career paths within the military and the outcomes and experiences of military service. Additionally, they introduce listeners to educational and vocational opportunities unique to veterans and military families, and new research from the New York Fed points to developments from the past year.  Information and resources from the episode can be found at nyfed.org/podcast.

The New York Fed's Savvy Credit Video Festival seeks to engage, educate and empower young adults to be smart users of credit. The festival challenges college students to produce a 30-second video promoting wise credit use among young adults. The contest provides students the opportunity to learn about the value of financial literacy and good credit through creative means. Each year, the New York Fed sponsors two festivals: one in Puerto Rico and another for the tri-state region of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Submitted videos were voted on by the public, with finalists judged by a celebrity panel before a live audience at a special event. Winning teams received prizes; first place included a cash award and the opportunity to have their video screened in New York City movies theaters. We invite you to view the First, Second, Third Place Winners and the newly added Social Media Prize (video with the most public votes).
