[quote=Anonymous]"Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the seasonally adjusted quit rate for people working in state and local public education reached 1.5% in July 2020, which was the highest rate seen in over 20 years of available data. The next summer, it dropped to just 0.3% – the lowest rate seen in the data.

By December 2021, the quit rate had evened out to 0.9%, which is similar to other government jobs and two-thirds lower than the national quit rate for all industries."

"They may also stay because their other options are limited. A 2021 Rand Corp. survey of teachers who quit the profession found that the majority did not find better-paying jobs, and 3 out of 10 had to take jobs with no health insurance or retirement benefits.

"Among people who are leaving the profession, the research suggests that they generally do not find jobs that pay more than teaching. Their skills are not rewarded in other jobs," Aldeman says, adding that math and science teachers tend to be the exception.

Although fears of a mass exodus of teachers may be overstated, that doesn’t mean that schools are in the clear. Employment in local public education dropped 7.1% in September 2020, compared to a year earlier – a loss of over 570,000 workers. This is by far the largest drop in public education jobs ever recorded in the federal data, which goes back to 1955."
