Highland Park, Illinois, is an affluent north-Chicago suburban community of about 30,000 people. If you live there and dream of achieving the good life in retirement, you should work for the public school system.
In this one zip code (60035), there are more than 200 former public school employees who collect annual pensions above $100,000 from the Illinois Public School Employee Pension system. We know this because of data made public by the Open the Books project.
