The unemployment rate for the generation of veterans who served after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks fell by a full percentage point to 2.5% in a September hiring surge that added 254,000 jobs to the nation's payrolls, the Labor Department reported Friday.

For all veterans, the jobless rate also came down significantly from 3.5% in August to 2.7% in September, and the rate for women veterans, which had spiked to 7% in August, fell to 4.3% in September, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
