Analysis of the Post-Service Earnings, Wealth, and Well Being of Military Retirees

Abstract

Retaining quality personnel in the military until retirement requires sufficient compensation during and after service to encourage the completion of a military career, including post-service earnings opportunities and military retirement benefits. The authors assessed the extent to which the earnings, wealth, health, education, and satisfaction of service members who served full careers in the military and retired differed from the earnings and wealth of those who did not serve full careers and those who did not serve at all.
