[LM_NET] HIT: Teacher Pay in 1977

[Tony Pope <pope1966@ATT.NET>]

I have received a lot of replies from people across the nation with this question.  
The amount I am going to use is $6,500.  I heard from two library friends here in 
Georgia in systems not too far away and seems like that's about the amount they 
were making.  Let me just say, even back then it is amazing in the wide range of 
differences.  One person had $6,000 and going all the way up to $14,000+.

Thanks again for all your responses.  I've tried to reply to everyone, but I'm sure 
I've missed a few.  Thanks for taking the time to help with this.  Now back to 
working on the PowerPoint for tomorrow!

Subject: OT: Teacher Pay in 1977

I'm making a PowerPoint to show on Tuesday for one of our retirees that has been at 
our school the longest.  She started in 1977 so I want to give a statement about 
what her pay would have been like.  Does anyone know the average teacher pay (in 
Georgia???) in 1977?  The closest I've been able to find on the Internet is that 
the average yearly wage at that time was 9,779.44.  I'm sure teacher pay wasn't 
that much!  Any help would be appreciated!  I'm hoping someone out there still has 
a checkstub from then!  Ha...  I'm doing a comparison of then and now on each slide 
(what kind of car she might have gotten into at the end of the day then and what 
she drives now, pay then/now, how she listened to music on 8-track-tape then or 
iPod now, etc.).
