The percentage of military spouses who reported being "satisfied with the military lifestyle," according to recently released results from the 2019 Survey of Active Duty Spouses. This is "significantly lower than 2012–2017," according to the survey.
 
Conducted annually by the Department of Defense Office of People Analytics, this survey measures "spouse attitudes and experiences in the areas of military support and benefits, deployment and reintegration, education and employment, and spouse and child well-being." The 2019 iteration, released earlier this month, did not address the impact of COVID.
