**Update on teacher staffing challenges 24-25**
It has taken a while, but
@ChanhLam202
and I have updated our website teachershortages.com. We find there are at least 49,800 vacant positions and 400,000 underqual in 24-25 compared to 55,000 and 270,000 last year

(3) positive working conditions consistently predicted lower job dissatisfaction, including in the 2020–21 school year. Across years, administrative support, teacher cooperation, and having adequate materials consistently predict lower job dissatisfaction.

While differences by gender and age started to appear in 2016, these differences were insignificant prior 2021. In 2021, young female teachers were most dissatisfied, followed by young male T, and older female T, leaving older male T as the least dissatisfied.

We find that (1) increases in teacher dissatisfaction beginning in the 2015–16 school year persisted into the 2020–21 school year
(2) levels of dissatisfaction during the pandemic were not equal across subpopulations of teachers

Hot off the press! @ch_redding and I are happy to share our new paper examining teacher working conditions and dissatisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at Educational Researcher.
