North Carolina teachers still rank among the nation's lowest paid
During the 2014-2015 school year North Carolina teachers saw some pay increases, much of it driven by local increases. Despite these raises, the counties that saw the highest growth in pay - Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Wake, and Guilford - still rank 101, 102, and 103 in average life time pay for teachers. Over the course of their careers, NC teachers will earn $1M less than teachers in other parts of the country.
