veterans are faring better in the workplace than their non-veteran
counterparts. In fact, between 2005 and 2015, veterans' average hourly
wages were nearly $5 higher—at almost $26 an hour—compared to $21 an
hour for non-veterans. Those findings, and more, by faculty economists
Dr. Francesco Renna and Dr. Amanda Weinstein, at The University of Akron
are discussed in their paper, "The veteran wage differential." They
explains that the wage differential is driven by observable factors such
as education, occupation and industry, but also by location choice—a
factor that has been previously overlooked in the literature.
