Last week's Exchange Insta-Poll on "Child Care Wages in
North America" shows a slight improvement in wages for early childhood
teachers from last year. In the May 2004 survey, regional averages for hourly
wages for lead teachers ranged from $10 to $12; this year they range from
$10 to $14. Last year assistant teacher hourly wages ranged from $7 to $9;
this year from $7 to $10.
Lest one rejoice that good times are ahead, keep in mind two disclaimers.
First, data in the Exchange Insta-Poll is not scientifically collected
-- this is a survey, not a research project. Second, we still need more
responses to this year's survey to make the results more reliable. We especially
