Abstract: Wages vary substantially from place to place and from occupation to occupation. In order to attract and retain a high quality workforce, Washington school districts must offer teachers a salary and benefits package that is competitive not only with teaching jobs in other states, but also with non-teaching jobs in the local community.This report examines the relative salaries and benefits of Washington educators using three different lenses. The first lens compares estimates of the prevailing salaries for educators with estimates of the prevailing salaries for non-educators. The second lens compares base teacher salaries in Washington with base teacher salaries in other states. The third and final lens examines the extent to which the fringe benefits teachers receive in the state of Washington are competitive with private-sector benefits. Whenever possible, the analysis has been conducted foreach school district, metropolitan area, and non-metropolitan labor market in the state.
