Survey: PA teachers cite stress, side jobs, Trump-era struggles
The American Federation of Teachers surveyed more than 2,000 Pennsylvania educators about workplace pressures.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents rated their weekly stress at seven or higher on a 10-point scale.
The survey found that 31% of teachers may leave teaching within the next year, while educators cited concerns about Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity and Trump policies.
Governor Josh Shapiro’s proposed 2026–2027 budget includes an additional $10 million for the Student Teacher Stipend Program.
