The White House has launched a new push to put unemployed veterans on the job. But the military also struggles to get spousesto work.

And spouses of active-duty service members face their own vexing issues with employment — a steady job can be tough to come by with frequent moves to new duty stations.

Now a company called TroopSwap is hoping to make things easier. The company works a lot like popular online deal sites, such as Groupon and LivingSocial, but TroopSwap hires only military spouses.
