Effectiveness of the Veteran's Readjustment Program at the U.S. Army Missile Command in Attracting Blacks into the Work Force.

Abstract

This paper investigates the use of the Veteran's Readjustment Program at the U.S. Army Missile Command with specific attention on its effectiveness in attracting blacks into the work force as compared to all other recruitment procedures. Archival data by race, sex, and veteran's preference were collected from the U.S. Army Missile Command's automated data bank and analyzed to determine employment trends of Vietnam Era Veterans from fiscal year 78 through fiscal year 83 as compared to other recruitment procedures utilized to recruit at grade 1 through 7 from outside government. Data analysis revealed that the Veteran's Readjustment Program brought a significantly larger percentage of blacks into the work force than did traditional Office of Personnel Management recruitment procedures.
