With an experimental design, the correlates of respondent burden were measured in 500 households in the suburban portion of the Philadelphia SMSA. The research design provided for variation in the length of the instrument, the effort required to answer some of the questions, and the administration of a second interview approximately one year after the first. Respondent burden was measured using behavioral indicators and responses to a self-administered reaction form. Instrument length was the only experimental variable which yielded statistically significant (although generally small) differences in burden perception. Two attitudinal factors—belief in the usefulness of surveys and denial of the privacy-invading character of survey questions—were strongly associated with low burden perception.

: Civilian employment for men retiring from the American military service is a manpower topic that is receiving continually greater attention. Current policies tacitly assume the possibility of smooth transfers from the military to the civilian sector for a steadily growing number of physically able military retirees (an estimated 1 million by 1980). This report deals with the most comprehensive study yet undertaken of the employment transition from military to civilian life by a portion of this large reservoir of trained manpower. The primary interest here is in the intrinsic significance of the problems of this segment of the national labor force. The problems faced by men seeking civilian employment following military careers of 20 years or more, and the methods they employ in the process, may also have much relevance for the growing number of civilians who similarly need to make a change in career during the middle years. One specific objective of the study was to determine the extent to which specific occupational skills have 'high' or 'low' transferability from military to civilian occupations, and the implications of these findings for needed training and retraining programs.

In physics, as in professional occupations in general, there has been up to the present time very little information as to the incomes which members of the profession can expect to earn during their working lives, and the influence on their earnings of such factors as educational background, experience, and type of employment.
