Employers offering spousal benefits are more likely to attract new employees and retain the ones they already have, a new study from staffing firm Spherion shows.

The survey, which polled employed U.S. adults, found 46% of employees would turn down a new job that doesn’t offer benefits for spouses. Harris Poll conducted the survey in January on behalf of Spherion.
