Bureaucratic red tape that differs from state to state hits military families hard. As a result, military spouses face an unemployment rate that is nearly six times higher than the general population.
Goldwater’s Breaking Down Barriers to Work Act is helping military families succeed. Our law recognizes that military members and their families do not forget how to practice their trade or profession just because they move across state lines. And it provides much-needed relief to those who are putting their lives on the line for our freedom. Learn more about how we are Breaking Down Barriers to Work for Military Families.

Learn more about it here.
