Miguel Cardona, Education Secretary

“Adjusted for inflation, over the last 25 years teachers have made a $29 increase in their salary.”

PolitiFact rated this: Half True

PolitiFact says: 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. Still, teacher pay gains trail those for the overall workforce and for college-educated workers.
