Data shows that the unemployment rate for military spouses is ~20%, nearly 5x the national average. Hiring military spouses is smart business and the right thing to do for our warriors & their families. That is why we have directed senior leaders throughout the @DeptofWar to begin maximizing the use of military spouse employment flexibilities. This immediate change will make it easier for talented military spouses to secure opportunities in the Department. For example, up to this point, our DoWEA schools could not extend job offers to highly qualified spouses with teaching licenses until 30 days prior to their PCS move, creating economic insecurity for our military families and unnecessary vacancies in our schools. No more. Now, these talented men & women can apply and be hired upon receipt of official orders. @SecWar @PeteHegseth & the @DoW_USW_PR team will continue to prioritize and invest in military spouse employment.
