This school district is located in Forest County, which in one of the most rabid Trump supporting Wisconsin counties. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from the mostly MAGA county residents.

Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in every school district in this county have suffered significant salary cuts due to pay increases falling far below the inflation rate. This is why we rate career employment potential for every Forest County school district as a DEAD END job.

The Wabeno school district average teacher salary was $53,612. 

Like every other Forest County school district, the increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was far below the rate of inflation; for this district it was 13.2%. 

The Wabeno school board was able to find money to raise the Superintendent pay by 21.5% during the same time period. 

Forest County is an extremely low wage county for teachers and administrators, likely due to a population filled with MAGA Trump worshipping residents who have little use for education. We urge potential teachers to bypass this county in favor of the many better career opportunities that are out there.

We rate career employment potential in this district as a DEAD END job.
