All districts in Texas do not pay the same. Urban school districts pay considerably more. The $33,660 they mention is the state base. Most districts contribute additional money to teachers' salaries from what they are able to collect through property taxes.

Also, many hourly workers aren't scheduled 40 hours in a regular basis. For example, the average full time hourly employee at Walmart is only scheduled 34 hours a week.
