U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) is faced with the challenge of ensuring that the flow of qualified volunteers is adequate to meet future active-duty accession requirements. This report documents research methods, findings, and policy conclusions from a project analyzing human resource management options for improving recruiting production. It details research designed to develop new insights to help guide future recruiter management policies. The research involves econometric analyses of three large and rich datasets. The first analysis compares the career paths of enlisted personnel,

The labor market in the United States has always been more flexible than labor markets of other Western societies. American employers have been relatively unencumbered in dismissing poor performers or adjusting the labor force in response to exogenous changes in product demand, technological change, or the competitive environment. Recently, however, state judiciaries have adopted a number of wrongful-termination doctrines that challenge the "employment-at-will" rule. This report provides the first empirical estimates of the aggregate effects of wrongful termination. It outlines the major exceptions to employment at will that have been adopted by state court jurisdictions. It also examines the timing and pattern of state adoption of the new doctrines. In an econometric analysis, it identifies those political, legal, and economic factors that are correlated with, and possibly causes of, the changes in court views of employee job protection. The authors also consider the economic factors that may have induced changes in the legal environment to derive reliable causal inferences about the subsequent effect on labor markets. The authors also evaluate the likely consequences of the legal changes for the behavior of business decisionmakers and derive testable implications for labor-market outcomes. Finally, they present their empirical findings on state-level employment effects that can be linked to expanding liabilities. The findings suggest that the indirect effects of wrongful-termination doctrines are 100 times more costly than the direct legal costs of jury awards, settlements, and attorney fees. Whether or not these changes are desirable depends upon whether or not there are compensating benefits to employees, firms, or society at large.

Increasing budgetary pressures and the reordering of national priorities have led to significant declines in military procurement. These declines raise public policy concerns about the overall economy, the defense industrial base, and the economic well-being of regions, industries, and workers that are particularly dependent on aerospace procurement. This industry is quite important to the California economy, and even more important to Los Angeles County. It is clear that the aerospace cuts affect certain occupations, firms, and localities disproportionately. Moreover, these losses are taking place in an already gloomy economic environment. Any long-term solution to the aerospace dilemma should be comprehensive and farsighted and should address the root causes of the overall economic decline.

The Defense Department has been spending over 100 million annually on recruiting advertising. Previous econometric studies of military advertising's effects have relied on data from time periods unlike today's and have used models possibly inappropriate for supporting today?s decisionmakers. This report details improved methods developed to assess military advertising's effectiveness and illustrates them using early 1980's and mid-1990's data.
