军人配偶失业率达24%：Cedars-Sinai定向招聘助军属随迁不失业
位于加州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市的医疗系统 Cedars-Sinai 近日介绍其军人配偶就业支持做法：通过定向招聘与弹性工作安排，帮助频繁随军搬迁的军人配偶保住职业生涯。
据美国国防部2024年军人配偶调查，军人配偶失业率达24%，约为全国平均水平的六倍；就业不足（收入过低、学非所用或从事专业之外的工作）同样普遍。Cedars-Sinai 称自己是支持军人群体的雇主，其医院、Marina Hospital 与医疗网络团队中共有350多名退伍军人、现役军人、预备役人员与军人配偶。
该系统通过联邦「军人配偶就业伙伴」（Military Spouse Employment Partnership，MSEP）计划定向招聘现役军人配偶。人才招聘团队的军人项目管理员比尔·麦戈文（Bill McGovern）是海军陆战队退伍军人，他表示：「军人配偶身处另一个未被充分服务群体的阴影之下。他们是受教育程度最高、技能最强的群体之一，却常因频繁搬迁在职业上挣扎。我们投入这个群体，是想帮助应对他们面临的就业挑战。」
组织沟通主管阿曼妮尔·鲁塞尔（Ahmanielle Roussell）本人就是军人配偶。她2018年因丈夫调防佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔而辞去在 Cedars-Sinai 的工作；2020年远程办公扩大后，她的原主管邀她回归，如今她正参与完善一项旨在留住军人关联员工的政策。她近期在圣迭戈县海军陆战队彭德尔顿基地的一场招聘活动上，与其他军人配偶交流求职困境。
运营分析师卡萨·海丝特（Kasa Hester）在丈夫随空军调往得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥后保住了在 Cedars-Sinai 的工作。两人都强调，军人配偶的韧性与适应力使他们成为有价值的员工，用人单位只需多一点创意与弹性。医院还设有退伍军人员工资源小组 VetConnect，供军人关联同事交流互助。

Military Spouse Unemployment at 24%: Cedars-Sinai Recruits Spouses So a Relocation Does Not End a Career
Cedars-Sinai, the Los Angeles, California health system, has described how it supports military spouses through targeted recruitment and flexible work arrangements, helping spouses whose families relocate frequently to keep their careers.
According to a 2024 U.S. Department of Defense survey, the military spouse unemployment rate was 24% — six times the national average — and underemployment, whether earning too little, not using one's abilities or working outside one's field, is another commonly cited challenge. Cedars-Sinai describes itself as a military-supportive employer, counting more than 350 veterans, active-duty service members, reservists and military spouses across its hospital, Marina Hospital and Medical Network teams.
The health system actively recruits military spouses through the federal Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) program, which helps spouses of active-duty service members find private-sector jobs. "Military spouses are an underserved community in the shadow of another underserved community," said Bill McGovern, military program administrator on the Talent Acquisition Team and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. "They are among the most highly educated and skilled, yet they often struggle professionally because of frequent moves. We are invested in this group because we want to help combat the employment challenges military spouses face."
Ahmanielle Roussell, an organizational communications supervisor, is herself a military spouse. In 2018 she resigned from a job she loved at Cedars-Sinai when her husband was reassigned to Jacksonville, Florida; in 2020, as remote work expanded, her former supervisor invited her back, and she is now helping refine a policy to retain military-connected employees. At a recent recruitment event at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, she met other military spouses who described feeling overwhelmed by their career prospects.
Operations analyst Kasa Hester was able to keep her job when the U.S. Air Force relocated her husband and family to San Antonio, Texas. Both women emphasized the resilience and adaptability of military spouses, and Cedars-Sinai also runs VetConnect, an employee resource group for military-connected colleagues.
