Abstract
Abstract : The purpose of this research was to examine labor force participation, employment, and earnings of military and civilian wives to determine if there are significant differences in work outcomes for these women, and to examine the underlying factors that may be responsible for these differences. The March 1985 Current Population Survey data were used in the analyses. Military wives were found to be less likely to participate in the labor force than comparable civilian wives. The findings suggest that military wives do not earn significantly different wage rates or annual incomes compared to civilian wives after controlling for other individual and household differences. However, frequent relocations and being located away from large population centers do appear to negatively affect the earnings of military wives when compared to civilians. Keywords: Spouse employment, Personnel retention, Labor, Salaries, Army families, Military/civilian wives.
