PolitiFact - Teachers have not had much of a raise in 25 years, data show

• Cardona left out that the $29 pay gain is over the course of a week, not the course of the year. The gains over a year amount to $1,508.

Cardona expressed regret that teacher pay across the country has not increased significantly over the past quarter century. We took a closer look at his statement that"adjusted for inflation, over the last 25 years teachers have made a $29 increase in their salary." Cardona’s office told PolitiFact that he was referring to statistics from the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal think tank.released Aug. 16, the group found that inflation-adjusted average weekly wages of teachers had increased by just $29 between 1996 and 2021, specifically from $1,319 to $1,348 in inflation-adjusted dollars.Teachers are often paid on a school-year basis, so their actual earnings increase in a given year may have been less than that.
