Folks are talking methods issues, but what I find even more fascinating is that there are two categories for BLS that are quite similar: "25-9044 Teaching Assistants, Postsecondary" and "25-1191 Graduate Teaching Assistants." The latter excludes the former.

and then we have table 8 of the NCES data (2015-16) and it includes assistantships in "institutional aid." These numbers do not match the article or the BJS data

25,800 for phd except in education
8,500 any ed doctorate
17,700 other doctorate

see, this is why i'm not a quant girl.
