School is back in session. But as we’ve learned in previous LifeChanger of the Year annual summer surveys, teachers are never far from the classroom. Even during summer break.
We found again that educators spend an awful lot of time during the summer on professional development, continuing work and preparing for the next school year. And we also found that three-quarters of respondents dedicate at least seven extra hours a week to their job – and more than half dedicate at least 10 extra hours.
Additionally, we asked this year a lot more about retirement. What stresses educators the most? The answer was simple: Personal finances.
More than half of the educators who responded are not confident or are unsure that they’ll have a secure retirement. Less than half said they planned to use a 403b plan to save for retirement, a significant opportunity.
You can find a summary of the survey on the LifeChanger website. A downloadable infographic on all of the results is here: https://bit.ly/2NwzaR7.
