Teacher salaries have not increased more than what U.S. education secretary Miguel Cardona described on “Meet the Press.” Teacher pay still trails the gains in earnings experienced by the overall workforce and college-educated workers.
• Cardona left out that the $29 pay gain is over the course of a week, not the course of the year. The gains over a year amount to $1,508.
Cardona expressed regret that teacher pay across the country has not increased significantly over the past quarter century. We took a closer look at his statement that"adjusted for inflation, over the last 25 years teachers have made a $29 increase in their salary." Cardona’s office told PolitiFact that he was referring to statistics from the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank.released Aug. 16, the group found that inflation-adjusted average weekly wages of teachers had increased by just $29 between 1996 and 2021, specifically from $1,319 to $1,348 in inflation-adjusted dollars.Teachers are often paid on a school-year basis, so their actual earnings increase in a given year may have been less than that.
