A new ADP Research Institute report showed how teacher pay compares to the pay of all employees. Teacher pay as a share of the pay for all employees aged 20 to 25 has greatly fallen over the years. AdvertisementThere's a shortage of teachers, and young adults could be shying away from the profession as teacher pay becomes less competitive. And for teachers aged 25 to 30, that has increased from $49,427 in January 2018 to $59,780 in October 2023. Education isn't the only field that may have trouble attracting young job seekers.

But the people driving the post-pandemic decline in hours worked fall into four categories: women, young adults, highly paid workers and employees at small businesses. Richardson points out that high earners can maintain their annual income while working fewer hours, thanks to big post-pandemic pay increases. Women are working more part-time jobs than menA record number of Americans — 22 million — are working part-time, Labor Department figures show. In 2019, women worked 4.4 hours less per week than men, who worked 40 hours. The industries that saw bigger declines in hours worked — health care, leisure and hospitality — are dominated by women.

On Wednesday, Big Tech stocks burned by the downside of high expectations triggered a sharp slide. The slide for Big Tech stocks dragged the Nasdaq composite to a market-leading loss of 2.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has less of an emphasis on tech, fell a more modest 0.8%, to 38,150.30. Three more Big Tech stocks will report results on Thursday: Amazon, Apple and Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram.

☆ The best time to quit and land a higher-paying job could be right after you get promoted

In fact, an ADP analysis found that US workers were more likely to leave after getting promoted. AdvertisementAdvertisementIf they hadn't been promoted, the researchers estimated that only 18% of these workers would have left. It wasn't until six months after a promotion that the promoted and non-promoted had roughly the same odds of leaving their companies. While the 29% figure might not be quite so high today, the question remains: Why were recently promoted workers more likely to leave? It's possible some workers were already planning to switch jobs, and getting promoted didn't change their minds.

▼ + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Madison Hoff | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Is it still safe to quit your job simply because you don't want to return to the office? The job market is still strong and offers a higher share of remote job postings than pre-pandemicData from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS, shows the labor market is still robust. Cory Stahle, an Indeed economist, noted at a press event last week that "remote work is something that is here to stay." Even Indeed renamed its Remote Job Tracker given the demand for hybrid employees, noting as hybrid "work arrangements emerge as a primary modality of flexible work — which itself is a topic of growing interest to job seekers, employers and policymakers alike — we are updating and renaming the Remote Tracker to the Remote & Hybrid Job Tracker." Did you quit your job after being told to return to the office?
