Employment: Teachers of adult literacy and remedial education held about 96,000 jobs in 2008. Additional teachers worked as unpaid volunteers. Many of the jobs are Federally funded, with additional funds coming from State and local governments. The majority of these teachers are employed by the educational services industry.

Many adult literacy and remedial education teachers work part time and receive no benefits. Many programs require teachers to have at least a bachelor's degree; a public school teaching license may be required for publicly run programs in most States. Job opportunities are expected to be favorable, particularly for teachers of English to speakers of other languages.
