Average China Teacher’s Salary

26 Jun

This page from AbroadChina.org offers a really great list of average salaries in the different areas of China. The list of local resident and teach salaries tells you at what level you can expect to live, while the list of foreign teacher’s salaries lets you know if your pay is the equivalent to the Chinese Standard in the area. Admittedly, it was based on 2003-2005. Still, Great Resource!
