NAVY BATTLES BOILING LABOR MARKET FOR TALENT

摘要

In the face of a booming economy, the Navy kept about 74 percent of its enlistment eligible sailors during fiscal 2019, figures released by the sea service show. Sailors in their first decade of service, which includes two "zones" — A, which covers years one through six and B, covering years six through 10 — reenlisted at rates of 64 and 72 percent respectively. The service had set a benchmark of 57 percent for Zone A and 67 percent for Zone B. Sailors in Zone C, or those with 10-14 years of service, reenlisted at 85 percent, above the service's benchmark of 82 percent.
