Meanwhile, government school employees within the \u201ceducation instruction and library occupations\u201d saw 288,959 lost jobs \u2014 a 5.3% decrease. Kindergarten through twelfth-grade teachers composed a plurality of the job losses in the latter category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other sectors within public education \u2014 including service occupations, office support occupations, and transportation occupations \u2014 saw 19.8%, 5.5%, and 25.8% losses, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Economic Policy Institute therefore notes:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p><i><span>While it seems most obvious that on-site operations will need to rehire food services workers, grounds crew, and bus drivers, school systems will also need to hire more teaching professionals to help students recover from learning loss during the pandemic\u2026 This need for more (not fewer) teachers is made even more difficult because the U.S. already faces a teacher shortage.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>The past year\u2019s statistics reflected the decades-long trend of more government education dollars financing administrative positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A 2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/ED543118.pdf\"><span>report<\/span><\/a><span> from the Department of Education showed that between 1950 to 2009, public schools saw a 702% increase in non-teaching staff. Over the same period, the number of teachers rose by 252%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As the report explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><i><span>Nationally, states could have saved \u2014 and could continue to save \u2014 more than $24 billion annually if they had increased\/decreased the employment of administrators and other non-teaching staff at the same rate as students between FY 1992 and FY 2009\u2026 Virginia would have had an extra $29,007 to spend per teacher if it had limited the growth of administrators and other non-teaching staff to its growth in students from FY 1992 to FY 2009. Maine would have had an extra $25,505 per teacher, and the District of Columbia would have had an extra $20,472.
