Abstract: Employment is a top concern for spouses of active-duty military service members, according to the Department of Defense (DOD). Military spouses may face challenges obtaining or maintaining employment that meets their financial or professional needs due to the demands of military life. These demands include frequent moves, overseas deployments, and irregular work hours for the service member. Some military spouses may pursue part-time employment—although it generally pays less and provides fewer benefits than full-time employment—because they can more quickly find part-time jobs. Other military spouses may work part time because it allows them to better balance work with caregiving or other responsibilities. However, managing military life and limited or unsatisfactory employment options could create additional stress for military spouses and families. This could, in turn, affect military families’ decisions about whether the service member remains in the military. House Report 117-397 includes a provision for GAO to examine the characteristics and experiences of military spouses who work part time. We are providing information on the size, demographic characteristics, employment experiences, and health and well-being of this workforce.
