Question. We recently received our employment authorizations during the last stage of our green card process. If I am the principal applicant and beneficiary of the I-140 and if I were to lose my job for any reason, would my spouse still continue to hold her employment authorization document?

If it is an employment-based green card process, then all is dependent upon the employer continuing to offer the job to the employee. If that should change, then both the employee and any dependent family members may have a problem with their statuses and the I-485 application is at risk; this includes losing the employment authorization documents (EADs), unless the circumstances allow the employee to continue the process with a new employer under the AC21 portability law.
