Notes: Mean (SE) of diary hours of work calculated using equation 1. Sample includes ATUS respondents with at least a bachelor's degree who are full-time workers with reported weekly earnings. “All teachers” includes elementary, middle, high school, and special education teachers. “Nonteachers” includes all other occupations. The N counts refer to the full sample, there are fewer observations in each subgroup (i.e., 77% of teachers are female so there are 1,640 female teachers [2,219 × 0.77]).
