Teaching No Longer A Recession-Proof Job

CNN Money (9/10, Luhby) reports that "teaching is no longer the stable career it once was" as the faltering economy "and accompanying state fiscal woes...are decimating the industry." According to CNN, "An estimated 135,000 teachers will be out of work this school year" and "a recent $10 billion injection to education from Congress is" not "expected to help that much. ... The hiring of new teachers has slowed dramatically and fewer veteran educators are staying in the field for their entire careers, said Segun Eubanks, director of teacher quality at the National Education Association."
