For others who might be interested, the lowest starting salary listed is Montanta ($31,418), highest is DC ($55,209).
Scaled up from 10 months to 12 months of work, that's $37,702 and $66,251, respectively. The median household income is $53,386 in Montana and $82,372 in DC [1][2]. In both cases, even the un-scaled teacher's salary easily accounts for half of a typical household's income.
So even without tenure and averaging effects, this data backs up the article's claims.
