Many Texan teachers are moonlighting in second jobs to make ends meet, a new survey finds.
Almost a third of teachers who responded to a recent Texas State Teachers Association survey said they hold outside jobs during the school year to support themselves and their families. These teachers work about 13 hours a week at their out-of-school jobs, and an additional 17 hours a week doing school-related work outside of regular school hours.
Almost half of respondents had summer jobs. Most of the respondents—59 percent—were major income-earners for their families. Seventy-nine percent were women, and 21 percent were men.
