Monthly Labor Review, US Bureau of Labor Statistics. September 2014. [accordions] [accordion title="Abstract" load="hide"]A study using Current Population Survey data shows that, from 1996 to 2012, elementary, middle, and high school teachers earned less than other college graduates, but the gap was smaller for public school teachers and smaller still if they had union representation; moreover, the mitigating effects are stronger for female than male teachers, so the within-gender pay gaps are much larger for male teachers.
