Occupational stress is a major problem among female school teachers that can affect their working capacity and students learning. This research investigated the association between socioeconomic status and occupational stress among female school teachers. This research was quantitative in nature and conducted in Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK). Data were collected from 150 school teachers using a convenient sampling technique. The data were analyzed by using SPSS version 24. The findings revealed that more than half (60.7%) of the female school teachers had high levels of occupational stress. The results of stepwise regression showed that the respondents' socioeconomic factors, such as job experience, qualification, personal income, age, and marital status had a positive relationship with occupational stress among the female teachers (R2=.20, p=<0.001, F=7.33). The government should make and implement essential policies to address this issue. Psychologists can also be hired for the counseling sessions of the teachers.
