ERIC ED294851: An Analysis of the Comparability of Teacher Salaries to the Earnings of Other College Graduates in the Southeast. 1987 Update. Research Report 07-010.
Based on data compiled from the latest U.S. Census "Survey of Income and Employment" (March 1987), this report compares the average annual earnings of teachers to the average annual earnings of college graduates in full-time, salaried, non-teaching positions in the six states served by the Southeastern Educational Improvement Laboratory. This report is the fourth in a series of annual analyses of earnings opportunities for college graduates in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This research was undertaken to determine what teachers should be paid in order to make their salaries equivalent to the earnings of college graduates with similar education and work experience in other occupations in the Southeast.
