Veterans Earn More
Women veterans had higher salaries than nonveterans in 2005, but they also worked more hours in a week and more weeks out of the year, according to a new analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Women veterans earned $32,217 in 2005, compared with the $27,272 for women civilians with no military experience. Male veterans also had higher salaries in 2005, averaging $42,128, compared with $39,880 for nonveterans. The data come from the working paper, Exploring the Veteran-Nonveteran Earnings Differential in the 2005 American Community Survey.
