Even Compared to Workers With College Degrees, Teachers Are Well Paid [Michigan Capitol Confidential]:
"The new Dearborn school district superintendent Glenn Maleyko says he is worried about losing his best teachers.
Maleyko told the Dearborn Press and Guide there will be a teacher shortage, and the newspaper claims the teacher pay scale is lower than what many professionals earn with a bachelor’s degree.
But the U.S. Census data doesn’t back that claim up.
The median salary for a person with a bachelor’s degree is $50,450, according to the American Community Survey 2014 put out by the U.S. Census.
A teacher with a bachelor’s degree in the Dearborn school district and nine years of experience would earn $52,163.
The average salary of a Dearborn schoolteacher was $62,266 in 2013-14; according to the Michigan Department of Education. (The average includes many teachers who get paid more because they have more than bachelor's degrees.)..."
