abstract: 'Drawing upon data from the Deployment Life Study, this article examines
|
|
|
|
whether female military spouses (SPs) are disadvantaged relative to
|
|
|
|
matched civilian peers in terms of hours worked and earnings, paying
|
|
|
|
particular attention to gaps among the highest educated women. Female
|
|
|
|
SPs do earn less than comparable civilian peers in terms of raw dollars
|
|
|
|
and percentage earnings. Moreover, military wives who are part of the
|
|
|
|
labor force work as many hours as their civilian counterparts, but still
|
|
|
|
earn significantly less for that work. Contrary to predictions, the most
|
|
|
|
educated SPs are not disproportionately affected compared to spouses
|
|
|
|
with less education. These results suggest that SPs at all education
|
|
|
|
levels could benefit from employment assistance; in particular, women
|
|
|
|
already participating in the labor force may benefit from support in
|
|
|
|
finding higher paying jobs.'
