In this article today the Wall Street Journal reports that “Even ‘Recession Proof’ Schoolteachers Feel Pinch of Employment Downturn”
The article goes on to report:
Ms. Frommer, 25 years old, said in college she was told teaching was among the steadiest jobs around. Now “there is no job security anymore,” she said.
In a sign of how severe the employment downturn is getting, even schoolteachers, an occupation once viewed as recession proof, are feeling the pain.
Los Angeles Unified School District laid off 2,500 teachers this spring. Broward County, Fla., Ms. Frommer’s district, cut 400 school jobs. Rochester, N.Y., laid off 300 teachers.
This indeed is disturbing news. We at powerlearning 21 – a place where we encourage teachers and everyone to share their knowledge for profit, believe that the best way to fight the recession and shrinking incomes or the loss of an income is through teaching income diversification.
The idea of teaching income diversification is quite simple – create alternate streams of income and do not be dependant on a single job or have something to fall back on in case of an emergency.
We are creating a platform where anyone who has something valuable to share may easily upload that knowledge in form of a video and teaching aids and start earning extra income.
