Jill Biden: The First First Lady to Hold Two Jobs VOA News First lady Jill Biden took leave from her'¯teaching'¯job last year to assist with her husband's campaign for president, but the longtime political spouse is not planning on giving up on her career. Biden became the first'¯second lady to hold a paying job outside the White House while her husband was vice president.
