The average teacher in Chicago Public Schools -- a district facing a $700
million deficit -- makes $71,000 per year before benefits are included. If
the district meets union demands and rewards teachers with the requested
salary increase, education employees will receive compensation north of
$92,000 per year. According to the Illinois Policy Institute, the average
annual income of a family in Chicago is $47,000 per year. If implemented,
the 30 percent raise will mean that in nine months, a single teacher in the
Chicago Public School system will take home nearly double what the average
family in the city earns in a year.

Given the brats they probably have to teach you would probably want to
be paid that too! Would you want to be a school teacher, Billy?
And don't forget that the cost of living is higher in Chicago than in
the boonies. Way higher.
