Source: Civilian data from Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey monthly files. Civilian data prior to 1989 represent calendar year.
* Affected by large number of unknowns in FYs 1973-1976. Because most unknowns were in their first year of service, and unlikely to be married,
they were coded as unmarried in calculating the percentage. |
