On October 2, the National Center for Education Statistics will release Summer Jobs for Regular, Full-time Public School Teachers. This report describes the percentage of teachers who earned income from working during the summer, whether the job was related to teaching or not, and earnings from those jobs by region.

During the 2015-16 school year, regular, full-time public school teachers were asked whether they earned income from working an additional job during the summer. Overall, 32 percent of teachers had a job outside their school system and earned an average of $3,700.

Teachers were separately asked about second jobs held during the school year. Overall, 38 percent had any outside job, either during the school year or during the summer. Twenty percent reported having a summer job only, 5 percent reported having an outside job during the school year only, and 13 percent reported having both.

This report uses data from the 2015-16 National Teacher and Principal Survey.
