Conflicting Recruitment Policies. Veteran's Readjustment Program vs Equal Employment Opportunity for White Females.

Abstract

This paper investigates the use of the Veteran's Readjustment Program at the U.S. Army Missile Command with specific attention as to whether or not it is a barrier to white females seeking employment. Archival data by 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 traditional recruitment procedures brought a significantly larger percentage of white females into the work force than does the Veteran's Readjustment program. (Author)
