Growth
|
Average growth
|
|
Rising student enrollment along with state and federal funding for education programs should affect growth. Teacher assistants are more of a supplementary position, as opposed to teachers, who hold a primary position. Therefore, teacher assistants' employment opportunities may depend on school districts' budgets. Schools are more likely to eliminate teacher assistant positions rather than teacher positions when there is a budget shortfall, and more likely to hire teacher assistants when there is a budget surplus.
