Pay Scales

Government workers and educators are paid
according to an established "pay scale."

The goal is to encourage these employees to continue their education and remain in-the-job for several years.

Pay is published on
a chart that takes
years of service and
rank into account.

For example, a new
teacher with a bachelors
degree will earn about
$20,000 per year, an
established teacher
with a Ph.D. will earn
more than $140,000 per
year.
