The Manhattan Institute has just released a new study on teacher pay. From the executive summary:

This report compiles information on the hourly pay of public school teachers nationally and in 66 metropolitan areas, as collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and compares the hourly income of public school teachers to those of workers in similar professions. Nationwide, the average public school teacher earned $34.06 per hour in 2005, which is 36% more per hour than the average non-sales white-collar worker and 11% more than the average professional specialty and technical worker.

The report also examines the hourly pay for teachers in 66 major metropolitan areas, including several in Ohio. Here are the findings for Ohio:

Cleveland – $38.36
Columbus – $35.67
Cincinnati – $36.72
Dayton – $37.08
Youngstown – $34.86

So far, the study has been reported on in the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Columbus Dispatch.
