摘要：This article examines the impact of voluntary military service on earnings in civilian employment. The research utilizes the March 2008 and March 2009 Current Population Survey samples to compare the earnings of veterans of the all-volunteer military with non-veterans by age, race, and level of education, during good economic times and periods of recession. Results suggest that civilian employees with service in the all-volunteer military are paid a significant earnings premium over their non-veteran civilian employees in both good economic times and bad. And, with few exceptions, this earnings premium is enjoyed regardless of race, age and level of education.
