What happened
WalletHub ranked New Hampshire as the worst state in the nation for teaching. A study by the N.H. Fiscal Policy Institute projects that Granite State schools will face over 1,100 annual teaching vacancies between 2024 and 2034, primarily due to educators retiring or changing careers. The report notes that New Hampshire ranked 42nd nationally in average starting salaries for teachers during the 2024-25 school year.

Why it matters
The shortage is attributed to an aging workforce, low teacher salaries compared to other college graduates, and rising housing and child care costs. These factors challenge New Hampshire’s ability to recruit and retain educators, threatening the state’s public service workforce.
