Is there data that shows if U.S. teachers tend to have more children of their own than other professions?

Submission Statement:

An article featured in The Educators Room , "Teachers Who Are Parents," noted that about half of public school teachers in the US (48%) have children of their own.

I would imagine that number would jump if you included private school children, which the paper does not get into.

I did not know if this number was high or low compared to those in other professions. Millennial women seem to have children at a higher rate than is what cited above (I saw 55% as the number), but that is apples to oranges.

Other sources noted nurses and teachers were the most likely professions to include working moms ... which does not look at dads.

So there is a lot of overlap.

Is there clear evidence that all (private/ public teachers) pre-K — 12 have more children than the average American in other professions?
