When a teacher鈥檚 pay seems not enough
Ira Porter
Education Writer
While reporting my story for today on teacher pay, I met Sarah Casey, a fourth grade teacher who is working two jobs this summer to supplement her income. With only a few years of experience, she doesn鈥檛 make much. And she鈥檚 getting married soon, so she needs all the extra money that she can get. Many teachers work summer jobs unrelated to school, and 30% work second jobs during the school year, to get by. Despite some raises, teachers had more buying power in 2017 than they do today, according to the National Education Association. Sarah plans to be a teacher for her entire career. If the pattern holds, she may also be working outside of a classroom for the duration.
