On average, military spouses are significantly more educated than their civilian counterparts, but much more likely to be unemployed or underemployed.

Something has to give during a deployment and for me it's often punctuality.

This is the hardest part of military family life - being away from each other.

Most employers see breaks in employment as a blemish on a resume. In the case of military spouses, however, it's due to their frequent moves.

Military spouse employment is the issue that most people email me about when they are suggesting topics for me to cover in my Home Front' column.
