Utah teachers earn similar salaries to teachers in other Mountain States
Utah's teachers earn comparable salaries to teachers in other Mountain States, despite national data that ranks Utah 49th in the nation for average teacher salary, according to a study released Thursday. The Utah Foundation report is based on data from the National Center for Education Statistics and compares Utah teacher compensation to Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming. When age and experience are taken into account, Utah usually ranked in the middle of the pack for teacher salaries among neighboring states.
