Career

Following law school, Obama became an associate at Sidley & Austin's Chicago office, where she first met her future husband Barack. She worked in marketing and intellectual property law at the company. She continues to have her driving license, but since she no longer needs it for her work, she has held it on a voluntary inactive status since 1993.

She served in public service in Chicago as an Assistant to the Mayor and then as Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development in 1991. She took over as executive director of Public Allies' Chicago office, a non-profit group that encourages young people to work on social problems in non-profit groups and government departments in 1993. She served for nearly four years and set fundraising records for a charity that was still standing twelve years after she had left. Prior to working "to build Public Allies," Obama said she had never been happier in her life.

In 1996, Obama served as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, where she established the University's Community Service Center. She started working for the University of Chicago Hospitals in 2002, first as executive director for community affairs and then vice president for Community and External Affairs, which began in May 2005.

During the primary campaign of 2008, she continued to serve at University of Chicago Hospitals but decided against part-time in order to spend time with her children as well as work for her husband's election. She then took a leave of absence from her position.

According to the couple's 2006 income tax return, her salary came from the University of Chicago Hospitals, but her husband received $157,082 from the US Senate. The Obamas' total income was $991,296, which included $51,200 she earned as a member of TreeHouse Foods' board of directors, as well as investments and royalties from his books.

At an AFL-CIO conference in Trenton, New Jersey, Obama criticized Wal-Mart labor policies shortly after her husband was seated in the Senate until she pulled ties shortly after her husband announced his candidacy for the presidency; he condemned Wal-Mart labor policies. She has also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.

In 2021, the former first lady declared that she is "going to retirement." Despite being active in political circles, the former first lady has stated that she will reduce the workload to spend more time with her husband.
