Chapter 17 in Statistical Theory and Applications, 1996, pp 199-213 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Two probability models are developed to illustrate the job search problem faced by two-career couples when employers are supposed to hire the best qualified applicant. An inherent tension between the goals of hiring the best applicant and keeping families together is demonstrated.
