520			_aThere is a widely accepted belief that veterans' preference is a significant barrier to women's career advancement. This article measures the impact of these policies on the careers of women in the federal civil service. Descriptive statistics, tests for comparisons of means, and logistic regression are used to examine data describing the careers of men and women, veterans and nonveterans. The analysis reveals that the effect of the preference on women's access to jobs is diminishing and that there are gaps between the salaries of men and women regardless of veteran status. In addition, education seems to be a strong driving force, and veterans' preference seems to be a weak restraint for women trying to advance to higher levels. - Reproduced
