Richer Than You Thought

The next time you take a look at your bank balance, don't fret. You are far better off than you may imagine.

According to Justin Olson of the Arizona Tax Research Association, if teachers compare their salaries to other incomes in our state, we have the eighth-highest wages in the nation.

AEA president John Wright may shed some light on Olson's magic math.

"Are we making proportionally more than migrant farmworkers picking lettuce in Yuma? Absolutely," he said.


"Arizona has a disproportionately low income population because of the nature of our economy," Wright continued. "I frankly wouldn't brag about making that comparison."
