In highlighting findings from five separate studies on the characteristics of public school personnel in Minnesota, this study seeks to assist legislators, public agency staffs, school board members, and administrators in gaining a better understanding of the educator labor force as they engage in policy development and planning for the decade ahead. The report includes statistics on age, sex, training, experience, salaries, and mobility of educators as well as findings on unemployment insurance costs and the characteristics of newly hired staff. The effects of declining enrollment on voluntary and involuntary geographic mobility are also discussed. (Author/WD)
