It’s much more than my raise this year. And they just got a 2% raise in January on top of whatever raise they got last July (3%? 4?).[/quote]

And you have to understand that America has gotten away with underpaying a female dominated profession for a very long time. The landscape has changed since girls and women have so many more career paths open to them, and the result is that school districts now have to compete for labor. I understand that this is a struggle for some to comprehend but the laws of economics are at play here. [/quote]

It's supply and demand.  Teaching has always been one of the easiest degrees to get (at least until recently with the addition of lots of even easier programs) and the supply of teachers is has always been huge, and thanks to the unions bad teachers don't get removed from the system.  The reason teaching wages are rising fast is that the cost of living has exploded, thanks to the massive inflation of the past couple years. [/quote]

The cost of living is one of the main drivers of the teacher shortage in our region. If you don’t have a higher income spouse you cannot afford to buy here and you can barely afford to rent on your own.[/quote]
