Teachers were more stressed than everyone else working during pandemic
A much higher percentage of teachers reported frequent job-related stress and symptoms of depression compared to the general adult population, in part because they were navigating unfamiliar technology and struggling to engage students, while also having concerns about returning to in-person instruction amid a pandemic.
In January 2021, 78% of teachers said they experienced frequent job-related stress, compared to 40% of employed adults, according to a survey of public school teachers from the Rand Corp. funded by the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers
The pressures of teaching during the pandemic weighed so heavily on educators that one in four teachers said they were likely to leave their jobs by the end of the 2020-21 school year, according to the same study.
Hybrid teaching challenges — including balancing remote instruction with in-person learning — led to the most stress among teachers.
I guess they didn't poll grocery store clerks and healthcare workers.

Apparently being afraid you are going to live is worse than being afraid you will die.

They're stressed because they're broke?
