我们研究了大衰退对公共教育、财政和就业的影响。我们的工作产生了五个主要主题。首先，近30万名学校员工失去了工作。第二，在经济上严重依赖州政府的学校特别容易受到经济衰退的影响。第三，在经济衰退期间，地方财产税的收入实际上增加了，主要是因为千元税率随着财产价值的下降而上升。第四，教育支出的不平等在大衰退期间急剧上升。然而，我们认为，我们需要对这一结果非常谨慎。自2000年以来，学校支出不平等稳步上升;我们在2008-13年期间看到的不平等趋势与我们在2000-08年期间看到的趋势非常相似。第五，联邦政府保护教育免受经济衰退最严重影响的努力实现了他们的主要目标。
We examine the impact of the Great Recession on public education finance and employment. Five major themes emerge from our work. First, nearly 300,000 school employees lost their jobs. Second, schools that were heavily dependent financially on state governments were particularly vulnerable to the recession. Third, local revenues from the property tax actually increased during the recession, primarily because millage rates rose in response to declining property values. Fourth, inequality in school spending rose sharply during the Great Recession. We argue, however, that we need to be very cautious about this result. School spending inequality has risen steadily since 2000; the trend in inequality we see in the 2008–13 period is very similar to the trend we see in the 2000–08 period. Fifth, the federal government's efforts to shield education from some of the worst effects of the recession achieved their major goal.
