"Instead of being able to apply to two or three agencies that may be near the base where their spouses are, it is a sign they can apply to all the agencies in the federal government scattered throughout the United States," said King. "It just vastly increases their options." "I've met so many people that have struggled to pursue their careers, and many of them do geographic bachelor tours, because their spouse has a very secure job, and they can't risk losing [income] to travel with their family. They make a financial decision for the spouse to stick behind," said Bell.
"I felt like my paychecks were getting smaller and smaller with my in-person job because I felt like I was constantly taking time off because [my kids] were sick or daycare was closed because of snow," she said, adding that receiving a full paycheck every week gives her a sense of financial security.
"There's workforce shortages and crises everywhere. And it's to me, [Congress] is recognizing the value that spouses can bring to organizations. And they're also recognizing that there are obstacles in the way that they can move," he said.
