Military Spouse Job Program in Jeopardy
AP reports that a program that provides job training, placement, tuition and child care benefits to military spouses in in jeopardy because the Labor Department is withdrawing the grant money that supports it. The money comes from a fund that is supposed to be used for emergencies. Mason Bishop, Labor's deputy assistant secretary for employment and training, says not to worry; he thinks the department can find funding for the program in other job training accounts. That would be a wise move. Politically, I would guess the last thing Labor officials want to be seen as doing is cutting support for military families.
