Susan L. Murphy worked with Mokena School District 159 from 1984/1985 to 2018/2019 when they retired.
In that time, they contributed $73,907 to their pension and have received $22,965 so far after their retirement.
They earned $62,270 annually at the time they retired.
A study by Andrew J. Rotherham at Bellwether Education Partners, said less than half of the U.S.’s millions of teachers receive any kind of pension. At issue is the standard teacher pension not accommodating teachers who move between school districts.
Rotherham said a sizable amount of teacher pensions are made in the last five years of a pension, approximately between 25 and 30 years of contributions.
Many U.S. pensions for public teachers aren’t as well-protected at 401(k) plans, according to Ryan Fralich with Teach For America. He pushed for more education to teachers about how their retirement funds are handled and more regulation.
The average teacher salary in the US is roughly $60,000 in 2019. Teachers just starting out can expect to earn less than $40,000, according to Melanie Weir with Business Insider.
