\"\"<\/p>\n

I spoke in January 2026 with 150 high school students about career options. After explaining my own career<\/a>\u00a0as a professor of education, health and behavior, I asked the students a simple question: Would you want to be a teacher?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy in the world would I want to be a teacher?\u201d one female student said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy aunt is a teacher and she works all the time \u2026 no thanks,\u201d a male student added.<\/p>\n

Several students said it felt like teachers were doing everything: from teaching lessons and helping students through personal struggles to managing class disruptions and constantly adjusting to whatever else the day brought. Students also mentioned hearing teachers talk\u00a0openly about low pay<\/a>\u00a0or feeling a\u00a0lack of respect<\/a>\u00a0from students and others.<\/p>\n

These students\u2019 observations\u00a0align with national trends<\/a>. While nearly 20% of college freshmen said in 1970 that they were\u00a0interested in a teaching career<\/a>, less than 5% said the same in 2020, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research.<\/p>\n

Many teachers report low levels of job satisfaction, and\u00a052% polled by Pew in 2024 said they would not advise<\/a>\u00a0young adults to become teachers.<\/p>\n

Teacher pay penalty<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Education researchers and labor analysts\u00a0have documented<\/a>\u00a0that teachers earn less than other people who also have college degrees.<\/p>\n

This difference in pay is sometimes called the\u00a0teacher pay penalty<\/a>. This\u00a0gap has widened over the past few decades<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2024 the teacher pay penalty reached its\u00a0highest recorded level<\/a>, with teachers\u00a0earning roughly 73 cents<\/a>\u00a0for every dollar earned by other college graduates.<\/p>\n

Average annual public\u00a0teacher salaries<\/a>\u00a0recently have ranged from about\u00a0US$53,507 in Mississippi<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0$53,098 in Florida<\/a>\u00a0to more than\u00a0$95,160 in California<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0$95,615 in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nationwide, teachers on average earn about\u00a0$72,030 per year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

National analyses show that teaching has steadily lost ground in wage competitiveness compared with other\u00a0college-educated professionals<\/a>\u00a0over the past few decades.<\/p>\n

Even as some states have enacted\u00a0modest teacher salary increases year over year<\/a>, these wide disparities persist.<\/p>\n

Expanding expectations, rising strain<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Teaching once centered primarily on academic instruction. Particularly through much of the 20th century, teachers\u2019 roles were largely defined by planning lessons, instructing on different subjects and assessing student learning.<\/p>\n

In addition to teaching core subjects, many teachers are now often expected to help support students\u2019\u00a0social and emotional development<\/a>, address complex\u00a0behavioral challenges<\/a>,\u00a0respond to crises<\/a>\u00a0that spill into classrooms, such as students physically fighting, and manage\u00a0substantial paperwork and administrative<\/a>\u00a0tasks.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic intensified many of these responsibilities, as teachers navigated remote instruction and students\u2019 heightened\u00a0mental health needs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, concerns about school safety, including the reality of\u00a0school shootings<\/a>\u00a0and other kinds of violence,\u00a0have added another layer<\/a>\u00a0to teachers\u2019 emotional\u00a0strain and required vigilance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Teachers are far more likely than other college-educated professionals to\u00a0report frequent<\/a>\u00a0job-related stress and burnout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Job available<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Approximately 50% of\u00a0all public school leaders reported<\/a>\u00a0in October 2024 that they feel their school is understaffed. And 20% of public school leaders reported teacher vacancies during that same time period.<\/p>\n

In January 2022, shortly after the pandemic,\u00a0more than 20%<\/a>\u00a0of public schools reported at least 5% of their teaching positions were vacant that month. Approximately 51% of schools\u00a0reported that resignations<\/a>\u00a0were the cause of these vacancies.<\/p>\n

A 2025 national teacher shortage overview estimates that roughly 1 in 8 teaching positions nationwide are either unfilled or staffed by someone not fully\u00a0certified for the assignment<\/a>, meaning a teacher working outside their licensed subject area or grade level, for example.<\/p>\n

When positions are filled this way, the classroom will still have a teacher present, but not necessarily one formally prepared to teach a specific subject or group of students. This can result in greater reliance on substitutes or\u00a0increased class sizes for remaining<\/a>\u00a0staff.<\/p>\n

When teaching became women\u2019s work<\/strong><\/h4>\n

History helps explain why teaching looks \u2013 and pays \u2013 the way it does today.<\/p>\n

In the early 1800s, teaching was a\u00a0predominantly male profession<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But as the U.S. industrialized in the late 1800s and early 1900s, higher-paying\u00a0jobs in business and manufacturing<\/a>\u00a0drew many men away from classrooms.<\/p>\n

For many women at the time, teaching offered one of the few respectable professional careers available. It provided steady income and a measure of independence when many other professions\u00a0were closed to them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Labor force participation for women expanded significantly during the 1960s, \u201970s, and \u201980s, as legal and social\u00a0barriers began to fall<\/a>. Yet the pay and public standing of teaching does not seem to have\u00a0risen at the same pace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the early 1900s, women made up\u00a0about 70% of teachers<\/a>. In 2024, 77% of\u00a0teachers were women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nationwide, the gender wage gap has narrowed in the past few decades. Still, women in the U.S.\u00a0earn an average 85%<\/a>\u00a0of what men make.<\/p>\n

Who will teach the next generation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Each year, more than\u00a080,000 new teachers<\/a>\u00a0step into classrooms. But the overall pipeline has narrowed since the early 2010s, with enrollment at\u00a0teacher preparation programs<\/a>\u00a0declining sharply and only partially\u00a0rebounding in recent years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s students are coming of age in a landscape where teaching competes with many other college-degree professions that may offer higher pay, more predictable hours or clearer career advancement.<\/p>\n

College students are often weighing financial security, mental health and long-term sustainability as they imagine their future.<\/p>\n

Research consistently shows that compensation,\u00a0working conditions<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0professional support play a central role<\/a>\u00a0in job retention. When those elements erode, so too does workforce stability.<\/p>\n

Stability is the key as students are evaluating teaching \u2013 not as a calling, but as a potential career within a competitive labor market.<\/p>\n
