Description

The President and his administration have taken the initiative to make the care and well-being of our nationäó»s veterans, service members, and military families a priority across all algencies of the government. As a result of the Presidentäó»s advocacy, and in response to conversations that the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden have had with military spouses, this report was issued to highlight the impact of state occupational licensing requirements on the careers of military spouses. About 35% of military spouses work in professions that require state licenses or certification. They move across state lines far more frequently than the general population. These moves present administrative and financial challenges, as illustrated in a case study of nursing licensing requirements. The report identifies best practices that states and licensing bodies can adopt through legislation, as wel a s current Dept. of Defense (DOD) initiatives that address this issue. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
