Working Around the Military
Challenges of Military Spouse Employment
This research brief describes work documented in Working Around the Military: Challenges to Military Spouse Employment and Education (MG-196-OSD).
Excerpt: Successful recruiting and retention of the active duty force depends in large part on the extent to which service members and their spouses are satisfied with the military lifestyle. Prior research suggests both that the most satisfied military families are those with an employed spouse and that the influence of military spouses on service member retention decisions has increased with the proportion of military spouses working outside the home.
