The salary differential is really very simple, ask yourself why a studio apartment is $3,000 in New York City while in Leesburg you can get it for $800? 49,000 per year in a job where you get three months off in the summer have a great pension is pretty good for starting salaries especially compared to fast food or Walmart at 20,000 A Year Without pensions or 3 months off. I have many teachers in my family so don't get off on me being against teachers getting paid better. New Jersey has an example back in the seventies raised every teacher's salary by $20,000 and thus increased my real estate taxes by 50%. First you should consider where the money is going to come from and if paying somebody more makes them better at doing their job. I can guarantee you it does not
