The Effect of Compensation on Voluntary Separation of Navy Enlisted Personnel. Volume 2

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between voluntary separation and the level of compensation of enlisted personnel in Navy ratings. Military compensation is measured by (1) Basic Pay, and (2) by Regular Military Compensation plus reenlistment bonuses and compared to earnings in an equivalent civilian occupational classification. The effect of changes in relative military-civilian compensation on voluntary separation is computed for 37 Navy ratings by personnel categories (based on length of active service) using 1973- 78 data from the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center and the Department of Labor. Also computed are business-cycle quit elasticities (effect of changes in general economic conditions on voluntary separation).
