Military spouses still face high unemployment
The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton interviews Sue Hoppin, Founder & President of the National Military Spouse Network.
I think the frustration among many military spouses is that many of our benefit structures are based on the 1950s model of a military family, where you have a trailing spouse that may go work outside the home for some extra money, maybe around the holidays or if they need some extra funds, but that's not the case anymore. I mean, military families are no different than anyone else. You really need two incomes to begin to develop that financial stability, that financial security that we promote.
