It is getting cold and heating is more expensive than ever before. We wanted to see how many of you are making ends meet by earning extra money outside your normal teaching job. Turns out it is actually really common for teachers to do this, although mostly in adjacent jobs such as marking and tutoring. It’ll be no surprise to you that it is more common amongst younger teachers, but the age differences really aren’t stark – 40% of teachers in their 20s have other earnings versus 29% of teachers in their 50s. (We haven’t asked this question in exactly the same way before, but in the future we can see how your responses change.)
