$100k is like $50k in the 90's, $30k in the 80s, $15k in the 70s, $7k in the 60s,... It's just like home prices have gone up along with other prices because the value of the dollar has sunk.
Blame inflation, greed, gov. debt, and the fed....

Wisconsin Teacher Salaries in Context
By Dan Collins on February 19th, 2011
On average, including benefits, Wisconsin teachers earn about $78k per year. I’m going to leave aside the “for nine months work” part of this, because I think it’s been hammered enough. The average household income in Wisconsin is about $52k per year. So, teachers earn about 1.5 times the average household income in Wisconsin when you factor in the benefits, and many of those households are two-income households.

I wish I was in an union to collectively bargain to get the summers off at my job, not to force teachers to work year round (even though they probably do).
