The county I live in, in NJ the teachers average $54,000 a year, with the highest tenured teachers in my town making over $75,000 a year.
New Jersey has a 180 day school year, at 7 hours per day, not removing lunch from the hourly total, assuming the teachers arrive a half hour early and leave a half hour after dismissal, they work 8 hours per day.
Doing the math, 1440 hours worked per school year the average teacher here makes $37.50 per hour, not to mention the best benifit package in the state which probably adds another 10k-12k per year.
Not a bad gig at all.
