Military Spouse Employment
In honor of Veterans Day, Dusty sits down with Sue Grollimund and Adessa Bentley to talk about employment and what that can look like when you are the spouse of a military veteran. They discuss the unique challenges military spouses face when it comes to finding — and keeping — meaningful employment, as well as the incredible strengths and skills they bring to any workplace. Most people don’t realize that many military spouses need to work, yet they often face obstacles most civilians never consider. With service members relocating every two to three years, military spouses are frequently labeled as “job hoppers” — not by choice, but by circumstance. From transferring professional licenses across state lines, to continuing education, to facing bias in the hiring process, the road isn’t easy. But behind every challenge lies opportunity. Military spouses possess a wealth of experience, adaptability, and resilience — qualities any employer would value. Sue and Adessa share their stories, insights, and advice for both military spouses navigating their careers and employers looking to tap into this exceptional talent pool.
