Results from AASA’s latest economic impact survey, Cliff
Hanger, indicated that anticipated jobs cuts for the 2009‐10
and 2010‐11
school years would surpass the number of jobs saved by the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act. With both houses of Congress already considering a second
round of stimulus funding targeted to education jobs, the results of this
follow‐up
survey ‐‐ focusing
solely on accounting for job cuts ‐‐ make a startling case and
bolster support for additional federal funding. This study finds that over three fourths of districts will
cut or eliminate 27,516 education jobs in 2010-11 and 53 percent will freeze
hiring. Based on these survey results, AASA estimates that the national total
for education jobs cuts will be 275,000 in 2010-11, representing almost all of
the 300,000 jobs saved by ARRA.
