WHy is it that..........?

I%26#039;ve read that military wives has a highest unemployment rate. Why do you think this is?

WHy is it that..........?loan

Because military families are compensated above and beyond what their normal paychecks are. So after government housing is provided, and air conditioning,and heat, and lower food prices at the commisary, not to mention overseas deployments to countries where there is a lower resource base for child care, they tend to not work as much.

Another one I have heard is that many of the women who DID have jobs, learned them for a very specialized job. And when they are deployed to another part of the country, it%26#039;s very hard to work up a network base to get jobs where they made as much as they did before. The only other option at that point is to get any one of the multiple of minimum wage jobs around a military post.

Okay, now here%26#039;s where it gets funny. In order for a woman with children to be able to go work, she needs child care. And child care around military bases is extremely expensive. Sometimes more than what they would be making at the minimum wage job.

So why work? If they have to pay everything they earn to the child care, why not just raise the children themselves?

maybe cuz they have to stay in base or move around its hard for them to get a job. i really dont know.|||coz they need to stay home n take care of the kids while their husband is outstation|||Because they are being taken care of by their husband. They get a check from them too because they are married, so they really don%26#039;t have to do anything. My ex is in the military, and he%26#039;s married now, and the girl dropped out of college because she doesn%26#039;t want to do anything but collect his money.|||One of my friends was a military wife, and she used to tell me how hard it was to find work in all the places she had to move too. There were so many people, limited jobs available, and most of these women have a certain availability for a job. She always found work because she could work any hours required.|||Tough to hold a decent job down, because of constant relocation.

Think about it, if i had to move 500-600 miles from my firefighting station, and did this for indefinite periods of time whenever the base moves my husband(i%26#039;m the hypothetical wife here, i%26#039;m not gay) to a different army post, i wouldn%26#039;t be keeping my position very long.|||they dont need to work the military pays for everything ...
