New Study: American Industry With The Highest Burnout Rates
We’re a little over a month away from kicking off the 2024-2025 Clark County School District school year. I’m not trying to rush it for you teachers, students, and administrators. But it seems that every year around this time we start hearing about the CCSD teacher shortage problem.
A recent study conducted by the career experts at PsychologyJobs.com reveals that American educators are employed in the industry with the highest burnout rates. In fact, over 4,000 companies in more than 400 job sectors were included in this review of information on LinkedIn.
From this data, they were able to determine which American industries have the highest burnout rates. In other words, how long does it take for you to want to change jobs or careers?
It seems educators are looking for new jobs or careers at the average median rate of every 2.88 years. Now, they’re not just referring to K-12 teachers. These figures and rankings also include any sort of instructional or training jobs in schools, colleges, universities, and vocational centers.
In fact, according to this survey by PsychologyJobs.com, the education sector is the only American industry seeing burnout rates at under three years. So, that may shed some light onto the teacher shortage problem we see every year around this time here in Clark County.

The American industry which has the second highest burnout rates happens to include my field of endeavor. The technology, information, and media industries are seeing an average median burnout rate of 3.41 years.
Although I’ve been a radio broadcaster for over 40 years now, during my early years I did move from job to job quite often. It wasn’t until I arrived here in Las Vegas that there was some stability in my career. Now, I’m fortunate to have been with 96.3 KKLZ since 2007.
This study shows a tie in third place for industries with the highest burnout rates. Real Estate and Equipment Rental Services have an average burnout rate of 3.91 years. This industry sector is tied with Administrative and Support Services, also showing an average burnout rate of 3.91 years.
I guess no matter which industry you’ve chosen to earn your paycheck, there’s always a chance you’re going to get tired of those specific tasks. Here’s hoping you’re enjoying your current vocation, and that you will for many years to come.
