Impact of Permanent Change of Station Moves on Air Force Enlisted Family Income for Avionics and Non-Avionics Personnel

摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of permanent change of station (PCS) moves on the family income of Air Force enlisted personnel in Avionics and Non-avionics career fields. The research had four basic objectives: (1) Evaluate the effect of unreimbursed moving expenses on family income. (2) Determine the impact of PCS moves on spouse earnings. (3) Examine the effect of PCS moves on member part-time income. (4) Compare the effect of PCS moves on the family income of Avionics personnel to members in other career fields. The research also found two important effects of moving on spouse income and member part-time earnings. First the expected income in both cases is generally lower during the year a family experiences a move as compared to the previous year. Additionally, moving more frequently during a typical 20-year career decreases the expected value of spouse income and member part-time income.
