Abstract:

The objective of this study is to estimate the earnings differentials the Navy might expect to pay for the future sailor. We begin by examining background information on the relationship of skills to earnings and then estimate earnings differentials in the civilian labor market for general skills the Navy will require compared with the skills the Navy requires now and for selected new occupations that will come with new technology. We end with a discussion on the impact of the earnings premiums on Navy ship costs and the Navy compensation systems.
