But despite these gains, inflation has eroded real earnings by about 5% over the last decade, pushing educators to take on extra gigs just to make ends meet. Union power matters: states like California and New York lead in pay due to strong collective bargaining, while weaker states lag behind. California tops the list with over $103K average pay, and D.C. offers the highest starting salary. Meanwhile, Nevada saw the biggest pay jumps. It’s not just about averages—it’s about cost of living, morale, and the collective voice that keeps teachers in the classroom. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
