Abstract
According to the Defense Manpower Data Center in the U.S. Department of Defense, there are 154,738 military retirees domiciled in California (U.S. Department of Defense, 2018, p. 6). Studies have determined that states with a high cost of living and limited opportunity are experiencing a negative migration as observed in California (Anderson, 2020, p. 6). It is important to consider alternative solutions to pursue sustainable economic growth in California. Like all veterans, military retirees represent a diverse population of skilled, proven, and experienced leaders. This research analyzes both academic and government literature sources, surveys from California residents, and key informant interviews of experts and stakeholders. Research of primary and secondary data may help elucidate possible policy change to the personal income tax law. The potential effect of this research may provide clarity if military retirement pay tax exemption will benefit all California residents.
