From https://www.foxbusiness.com : In the September 2014 Census Bureau report on income and poverty in the U.S., the median household income in America across all jobs was $51,939.
For years we have been told that teachers are vastly underpaid, but now I am so not sure at all!
Re: From https://articles.niche.com/teacher-salaries-in-america/: The national average starting teacher salary is $38,617, while the average teacher salary in America (non-starting) is $58,950.

59K per year for a part time job sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
The first is on a per person as well and ignores significantly better benefits than the average person (plus 2-3 months of vacation). The latter statistic is household income which is ~1.6 incomes per household on average. So teachers make much more than average, with better hours and significantly better benefits.
Notice the fake news:
The national average ***starting*** teacher salary is $38,617, while the average teacher salary in America **(non-starting)** is $58,950.
$58,950 for nine months work. Nice work if you can get it.
Just wait until their RETIREMENT kicks in. That’s where we taxpayers should be ready to bend over and take it up our Obamas. Because that’s where it’s coming.
