- fleetwoodsnack 4y agoThis is a good call-out. Looking online, the BLS uses its Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey (https://www.bls.gov/oes/mb3-methods.pdf https://www.bls.gov/oes/mb3-methods.pdf) to gather their underlying data. I put my comment together based on a quick google search and an appreciation for graphics; BUT, I’d take the BLS survey’s response bias over ZipRecruiter’s sample bias any day (the data is derived from ZR’s own job listings). I’ll make edits to reflect your information. I think the underlying observation that teachers are compensated much less than tech workers is unchallenged (average salary of a teachers is approximately 40% less than the average salary of any STEM-related-field worker).[1] [1] https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ocwage.pdf https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ocwage.pdf
