True, but prior to this the biggest annual decrease in public school enrollment was a 3% drop at the start of WWII!

Wow. That enrollment (vs. staffing) trend is absolutely striking. Not much recovery so far.

Hi #EconSky, I'm on the #EconJobMarket!
My JMP provides the first evidence on how teacher labor market shocks affect long-run student outcomes.
I study one of the largest teacher supply shocks in US history, larger even than Covid or the Great Recession.
Let’s talk about WWII… 🧵

Definitely exacerbated by post-pandemic enrollment losses we show in recent work.
At left: enrollment losses for the highest income 20% of MA school districts.
At right: Newton's losses are even larger. District is 1,100 students (9%) smaller than it "should" be.
