MEA Career Earnings Data 2020-2021 - Maine Education Association

Career Earnings BA 20-21

As part of MEA’s continued commitment to educate its members on issues that impact their work and life, MEA’s Director of Collective Bargaining and Research compiled the follow data regarding salaries, in particular, career earnings in Maine. Career Earnings is a strength-of-scale measure. The name is a bit of a misnomer as it does not equate to actual career earnings, which should be higher. The measure allows for an apples-to-apples comparison between scales. The Career Earnings measure takes into account the beginning salary, the top salary, how long it takes to get from the beginning to the end, and what the Step increments and Lane increments are between the beginning and end of the scale. A 30-year “career” is used, allowing movement from the beginning to the end of most scales. Data collected is based off of current, settled contracts in the MEA database as of November 15th. If a district is not listed it means MEA does not have a current contract for that district.
