3-This is good news for teachers and parents alike. According to the latest data, New York State pays the most of any state in salary for teachers. On average a teacher in New York makes around $84,000 which is the most in the country. That means New York is able to recruit the best of the best. On the flip side, Florida teachers earn the least amount on average, but with no state income state and plenty of sunshine, it might be easier to recruit teachers down there.
