In this survey, the Tennessee Research Coordinating Unit has gathered statistical data pertinent to the salary structure of State Divisions of Vocational-Technical Education in the Southeast with specific emphasis on Tennessee. Compared to other state divisions, the professional vocational education staff members in Tennessee are overworked and underpaid. Upgrading of fringe benefits and 15 percent salary increases are recommended to improve Tennessee's noncompetitive position. The "general combination" type of organizational structure in Tennessee does not provide for vertical mobility, making the vertical and pyramidal structures in other states more attractive. Various cost-of-living indexes show there is an insignificant difference in living costs among the southeastern states. For each administrative position within the State Divisions of Vocational-Technical Education, salary ranges, job descriptions, educational requirements, and work experience requirements are included. A wide range of charts presents the data. Findings are presented concerning the cost-of-living, the working environments, field supervision, and the organizational structures of 12 State Divisions of Vocational-Technical Education in the Southeast. Administrative positions within four local educational systems were selected for purposes of comparison. (AG)
