Besides a population less than Denver and less than 1/4 that of the Denver-Aurora-Broomfield metropolitan statistical area, what might be different about Luxembourg?
Can we have that in after-tax take-home dollars?
I would like to see total compensation ....not just salaries.

Comparing average teachers in one country to the highest paid in another country is meaningless.
In my district here in Pennsylvania (Council Rock), the average teacher was paid $96,116 per year (2017), not including benefits, and not including the fact that they barely work nine months out of the year. The max salary is capped at $110,743, and a very large proportion of the teachers make that salary.
One huge issue in pay disparity within our very large country is that legislation controls bargaining power. In Pennsylvania, cities reserve the right to themselves to union bust, while the suburbs are stuck with legislation like Act 88. Philadelphia teachers salaries, a mere ten miles away, average 60,763 a year, and teachers across the river in New Jersey average $67,812, about 66% of the salary where I live.
what is the average price level in each of those countries?
We are in the top 10 - WHAT is the problem?
Perfection is the enemy of the GOOD.
I managed to attain top salary of $98986.00 teaching middle school science for 35 years .Got out with great pension and sick day reembursement of $35,000 and free healthcare for life.(USA)
No teacher is worth more than 70K per year. No teacher should go into the profession with the mindset of becoming a millionaire. If they want hazardess duty pay, then bump them another 10k. Otherwise, go work somewhere else.
Since there is absolutely no rationale for their salaries, ALL teachers are overpaid.
Students should set teacher salary. Then we’d have a rational education market. Right now, there’s no relationship between teacher pay and performance, something that standardized tests will never measure.
However, Kids know.
