The Postmilitary Earnings of Female Veterans Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society 35,2 (April 1996): 197-217.

An investigation is conducted of the civilian labor market performance of women veterans. Using standard data sets and a special survey of reservists, female veterans are found to have better earnings endowments than non-veterans. Although female veterans have higher unadjusted earnings than non-veterans, a wage disadvantage is found for white but not non-white veterans following control for measured and unmeasured skills. Low returns to military service may result from historically limited military opportunities for women and difficulty in transferring skills to civilian jobs. (ABI/Inform) |
