  • The Missouri Research and Information Center (MERIC) – DHEWD’s site for workforce and economic data, including occupation and wage projections. Don’t miss the Regional Profiles for information on growing jobs across the state. 
  • Read a report from the RAND Corporation on “completion rates” for military enlistments. Attrition rates varied by service and many other demographic characteristics. 
A chart of the Average Characteristics of Accessions Across Service Branches FYs 2001-2013. The Army saw the highest number of accessions. In a 3 month attrition rate, the Navy saw the highest number of accessions at 6.3%, in a 6-month attrition period, the army saw the highest percentage at 9.9%. In a 12-month attrition, the highest rate was from the Army at 15%. And the final metric of a 36-month attrition rate, the army stayed on top with 29.7% attrition rate.
