Two-thirds of American families rely on dual incomes and that means when one spouse is offered a job requiring relocation, it’s often a mixed blessing. While the husband or wife may have an opportunity for a new position with higher pay, the so-called “trailing spouse” can be left jobless in an unfamiliar city, with no connections or prospects. RiseSmart offers outplacement support for trailing spouses to ease these worries and help companies attract and retain top talent.
