Maintenance Workforce Characteristics

Abstract

We identified the characteristics of the FY01 DoD maintenance workforce, placing it in the larger context of the total DoD workforce and analyzing trends from FY97 to FY01. We evaluated the workforce in terms of age, years of service, retirement eligibility, Armed Forces Qualification Test scores, education, skills, and female and minority representation. We found a significant decrease in the average years of service for active duty enlisted maintainers in the mid-career brackets; decreases in the percentage of minority representation in both blue collar and white collar civilian segments; and decreases in total numbers of both civilian segments (almost double the reductions of total numbers for maintainers and DoD overall). Other decreases and changes in the remainder of the population were otherwise consistent with reductions throughout DoD.
