Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
High unemployment and wage gap
Military spouses face a 21 percent unemployment rate and earn about 25 percent less than comparable civilians. These statistics describe the group’s current job and pay challenges when moving or during long separations.
Federal hiring improvements for spouses
The proclamation states the Federal Government has enhanced job opportunities for military spouses by improving hiring within the Federal Government. This is presented as a measure to help spouses find steady federal employment despite frequent relocations.
Expanded licensure portability
The document says licensure portability has been expanded to help military spouses keep professional licenses when they move. This change is meant to reduce barriers to employment in licensed professions after relocation.
More remote and flexible jobs
The proclamation notes increased remote and flexible job options were expanded to give military spouses continuity and financial stability. Remote and flexible work is framed as a way to lessen the employment disruption from frequent relocations.
Federal return-to-office exemption for spouses
The proclamation says that earlier in 2025 the President issued a categorical exemption for military spouse employees from the Federal civilian return-to-office directive. That exemption is described as a federal protection for military spouse federal employees.
