  1. to make.
  2. This is a quote I found off of.
  3. The professors blogged e don't know if I would use
  4. this as a recruiting slogan, but, hey, it sets up
  5. the article I'm going to talk about tonight.
  6. So raise your hand.
  7. If you ever held a second job those out in
  8. Zoom Land feel free to join us our don't.
  9. I wanna.
  10. 2015 16 National Teacher and Principal Survey published by the
  11. Pew Research Center.
  12. This is where this article came from.
  13. Now I actually had to go online to the National
  14. Center of Educational Statistics.
  15. That's where the, um, actual data waas.
  16. It's all this.
  17. Wow, that's a lot of numbers.
  18. Um, but they also publish some graphs to help us
  19. and the result.
  20. Basically, we're pretty, uh, common sense.
  21. The younger you were and the more or less experience
  22. you had as a teacher, the more likely you were
  23. to hold a second job, and you could see first
  24. year, second year as it kind of goes down, and
  25. also by age now, summer earnings are a larger share
  26. of less experienced teachers.
  27. Also, which makes sense because the summer, you know, that's
  28. where we can get our side jobs or side hustles,
  29. they say.
  30. You see, this was from the Pew Research Analysis for
  31. National Center Edge Cases.
  32. Physical Data.
  33. This was funded by the N.
  34. C. S and also the Department of Bureau of Labor.
  35. Now teachers are 5000 likely to have a second job
  36. in the average full time worker.
  37. Yeah, As you can see, the non teachers are what
  38. you might not conceive, but this goes back of several
  39. years 2000 and 14.
  40. But the darker blue, they're pretty much stay the same.
  41. But the teachers Aaron, the lighter blue and you can
  42. see that it's kind of creeping up.
  43. So it's important to remember that this was funded by
  44. the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of
  45. Labor, but it's published by the Pew Research Center.
  46. All in all, about one in six US teachers work
  47. second jobs, and not just the summer.
  48. So now it's going up since this last year, which
  49. this one is actually 2018 19, so it's gone up
  50. to 18% from the 16% from 2015 and 16.
  51. Once again, teachers or five times is likely This was
  52. a great article from NBC News.
  53. Picked up a net.
  54. Frahn Pharmaceuticals is in Casey, South Carolina.
  55. Yeah, they have roughly over 300 teachers who work part
  56. time jobs there.
  57. They actually have a program within the district's the teachers
  58. to be able to get a part time job.
  59. Um, he has a social studies teacher, and I believe
  60. she is a science teacher in the background.
  61. If you want to see this, um, article, you are
  62. this news.
  63. Peace's really fascinating.
  64. Here's a Spanish teacher working a farmer's market.
  65. There was an article done from Post and Courier called
  66. Minimal Education, and part of the peace is teachers who
  67. were working second jobs.
  68. Yeah, this is one of my references.
  69. Here's another reference, um, to please check out the Posting
  70. Courier article on a minimal education.
  71. I chose this because, like most of you, I had
  72. a 2nd and 3rd job.
  73. Also, my first several years of teaching and Mom was
  74. fun. It was playing music, but it was still a
  75. job that I had to go to, and just something
  76. to remember.
  77. As we are becoming leaders and we are getting more
  78. experienced, remember what It was like to be a first
  79. year, second year teacher who's also going through the formal
  80. evaluations, which probably why, um, we lead to teach a
  81. burn out in the first five years.
  82. If you Well, that's a whole another research article.
  83. Someone should study my last thoughts.
  84. I think more study is needed as it relates to
  85. Cove it now because it just destructive the total economy,
  86. especially side jobs and side hustles and how it relates
  87. to the underground economy.
  88. Because of myself, I work with several teachers.
  89. And if you would have asked us according to the
  90. I. R.
  91. S, no, we did not have a second job because
  92. every time I play a gig, I get paid in
  93. cash, especially back then.
  94. Also, my fellow teachers who were bartenders, waiters, they all
  95. get paid in cash.
  96. Our landscapers, a lot of teachers.
  97. I worked with mowed lawns.
  98. So did that.
  99. And they work as we know it as the underground
  100. economy. So I would suggest that the statistical analysis is
  101. a little off, I think more than, um, 18% of
  102. teachers work second jobs.
  103. That's just what they report as they're working.
  104. So I think some more study might be needed for
  105. that. So about those teachers who are working second jobs,
  106. they're tired.
  107. So just just a fascinating article.
  108. I thought it was pretty good, so thank you.
