Abstract: This applied study explored the role of behavioral health issues among workers in the education industry in the United States. The education industry accounts for about 1 in every 10 employees in the total U.S. workforce in year 2024. Recent data on number of worker, number of employers, worker age, gender, private/public sector, union representation, compensation, and safety from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is also presented to provide a larger context for this industry. The EAP study featured client data collected over a 7-year period from employee users of counseling or coaching from a single national EAP business in the United States (CuraLinc Healthcare).
