Teachers are not so bad off according to this article in a Jersey paper (via mises blog)

Comparing wages on an hourly basis, the report shows that elementary school teachers earn an average of $30.52 an hour, while private engineers make an average of $31.05 an hour. On an hourly basis, accountants and computer programmers made less than teachers.

The article does state how teachers put in extra hours and aren't paid for it. Wow, that is a new concept, I don't know anyone that does that. Please....
