本文探讨了在一个主要的大都市劳动力市场上，先前的兵役对招聘入门级工作的影响。这项研究采用了一种审计方法，即针对一个广告职位，传真简历，简历的区别仅在于军事经验和文职工作经验的介绍。结果表明，雇主表现出优惠待遇的黑人退伍军人与转让技能比黑人nonveterans。在战斗部队有传统军事经验的退伍军人不受雇主的优待，无论其种族/族裔背景如何。这些研究结果表明，在先前的观察性研究中发现了一种可能的机制，即在黑人中产生退伍后就业的好处。退伍军人在招聘中的溢价可能源于黑人集中在具有高度文职可转移性的军事职业专业，再加上雇主对具有此类工作经验的退伍军人的偏好超过了非退伍军人。
This article examines the effect of prior military service on hiring for entry-level jobs in a major metropolitan labor market. The research employs an audit method in which resumes differing only in the presentation of military experience versus civilian work experience are faxed in response to an advertised position. Results suggest that employers exhibit preferential treatment of black military veterans with transferable skills over black nonveterans. Veterans with traditional military experience in the combat arms do not experience preferential treatment by employers, regardless of racial/ethnic background. These findings suggest a possible mechanism generating the postmilitary employment benefit among blacks found in prior observational studies. A veteran premium in hiring may stem from the concentration of blacks in military occupational specialties with a high degree of civilian transferability, combined with employer preferences for military veterans with such work experience over their nonveteran peers.
