Description: This report presents exploratory model-building for identifying and analyzing the      recruiting market for Navy occupations in the highly technical nuclear field. Variation      in eligibility for nuclear occupations by race and gender subsets of the recruiting      market is examined. Logistic regression models for race/gender market segments      estimate the relationship of socioeconomic factors and geographic location to four      classifications of mental qualifications: (1) high quality (mental category IIIA and      above) eligible for Navy nuclear occupations, (2) high quality not eligible for these      highly technical occupations, (3) mental category IIIB, and (4) not eligible for the      military labor market (mental category IV and below). The results of these models are      then used to estimate the size of nuclear qualified markets of 17 to 21 year old high      school graduates at the county level. Great variation in nuclear qualification by gender      and race-ethnic group is apparent in these estimates with white males qualifying at      rates substantially above all other groups. Regional variation reflects these      demographic characteristics. Navy nuclear occupations, Gender race-ethnic group      differences, Mental group categories, Recruiting markets.
