Ranking Comparable Salaries• Average starting salary for each state
(NEA, 2017-2018)
• Comparison of average starting teacher salary to average salary for “all occupations”
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2018)
• Ranking of each state based on how new teachers were paid versus the rest of the workforce

Ranking Comparable Salariesgeneral findings
• On average, entry-level teachers are paid 21.8% less than other workers in their states.
• Colorado had the largest pay gap—40% less than the average salary in the state.
• If a teacher moved from Denver, Colorado, to New Orleans, Louisiana, they’d instantly improve their standard of living by approximately 50%
• Even though the D.C. has the highest starting salary for teachers, it still ranks low (#50) because of the difference between teachers’ salaries and other workers
