What’s a Teacher’s Worth? A Global Comparison

Came across an interesting infographic on the website Soshable.com. The source of the data is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which  published the Education at a Glance survey back in July, 2010. You can find it here. The infographic was put together by Master-Degree-Online.com, which seems like some online degree mill that I’d steer clear from, though they do a good job visualizing some potentially confusing numbers.

The graphic about teacher hours worked versus pay (after 15 years in the profession) is particularly enlightening. Teachers in the U.S. end up at the top of the scale in hours worked, but near the bottom for salary (as compared with GDP per capita).
