Mississippi teachers make less than national average
SUMMARY: Educators across the U.S. are facing challenges with low salaries that are failing to keep up with inflation. The National Education Association reported that on average, teachers make $69,544, with some states paying almost six figures while others pay only about $50,000. Starting teacher salaries are below levels from over a decade ago, and overall, teacher salaries have fallen by 5% due to inflation over the past 10 years. The impact of low salaries on teachers' lives is significant, but it ultimately affects the students. Efforts are being made to increase teacher salaries, but more support is needed from voters, legislators, and districts.
