Notes on employment for Postsecondary teachers
- Opportunities for college and university teaching jobs are expected to improve, but many new openings will be for part-time or non-tenure-track positions.
- Prospects for teaching jobs will continue to be better in academic fields that offer attractive alternative nonacademic job opportunities—health specialties, business, and computer science, for example—which attract fewer applicants for academic positions.
- Educational qualifications for postsecondary teacher jobs range from expertise in a particular field to a Ph.D, depending on the subject being taught and the type of educational institution.
- One out of eight postsecondary teachers is a graduate teaching assistant—and one out of ten is a vocational or career and technical education teacher.
