This figure, Figure 8, shows the enrollment-adjusted percent change in local government education between 2008 and 2019 by state and territory. States and territories that experienced an increase in enrollment-adjusted employment in local public education are shown in shades of blue, with darker shades indicating a higher percent change. States and territories that experienced a decrease in enrollment-adjustment local public education employment are shown in shades of orange, with darker orange indicating a greater percent decline. States with missing data are shown in gray with dots; these include Arkansas, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, and Virginia. Enrollment data was available for 43 states and Puerto Rico. Of these, 13 had enrollment-adjusted positive growth in their local public education workforces, while 31 saw enrollment-adjusted declines in local public education employment. Adjusting for K–12 enrollment levels, changes in local education employment ranged from just under 23 percent growth in Oregon to a nearly 16 percent decline in Florida. Local education workforces, after accounting for state changes in enrollment, were short by over 10 percent in six states: Michigan (-11.2 percent), Arizona (-12.4 percent), Louisiana (-12.7 percent), Georgia (-12.7 percent), North Carolina (-13.8 percent), and Florida (-15.7).
