In a perfect world, we would all have high-paying jobs, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. According to Career.io, the highest-paid roles in each state vary depending on where you live. Using government data, they found that every state in the country has at least one job with a salary at least 25 percent higher than the national average for that occupation. Wisconsin takes the lead, with gambling and sports book writers and runners making a whopping 216.19 percent more than the national average. Meanwhile, crane and tower operators in New York earn around 109 percent more than the national average for that job, and craft artists in California earn 89.06 percent above the average.

Job postings in Colorado~ I continue to notice essential information frequently omitted in our industry. Make sure to discuss these details with your leadership and HR team to ensure compliance and transparency: Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, also known as the state's pay transparency law, requires employers to include salary information in job postings. The law applies to all Colorado employers with at least one employee, as well as out-of-state employers. The law went into effect on January 1, 2024, and includes the following requirements: Compensation: Job postings must include the pay rate or range for the position, as well as a general description of any other compensation, such as bonuses and commissions. Benefits: Job postings must include a general description of benefits. Application: Job postings must include information about how and when to apply. Job opportunities: Employers must notify employees of job opportunities, and disclose who was selected to fill the position. Career progression: If the employer uses career progressions for certain roles, they must disclose how to advance through them to eligible employees. Recordkeeping: Employers must preserve records of wages and job descriptions. Puppy picture included for the "oohs" and "awws"! 🐶

A lot to take in here but this is how life is in this neck of the woods for many but not all, referring to both below and above the annual average income in Arkansas and neighboring Mississippi. “Mississippi’s annual average income is the lowest in the U.S. at $48,048, followed by neighboring states Arkansas ($53,716), South Dakota ($53,820) and Idaho ($53,976). However, Missouri and Arkansas both place in the top ten for lowest cost-of-living in the United States, showing that while average salaries are relatively low, this doesn’t necessarily equate to the lowest ‘real’ income.” (USA TODAY Blueprint) https://lnkd.in/eMYAzVvr #income #costofliving #Arkansas

Following up on yesterday's money post, below are the average annual salaries for associate attorneys with 1-4 years of experience. New Jersey: $119,800 Philadelphia: $109,000 These numbers tell us...very little! Salaries vary widely by firm size and, to a lesser extent at the associate level, practice group. North Jersey salaries tend to be higher than those in South and Central. Some firms have excellent bonus structures that can raise the base salary by tens of thousands of dollars, while other firms have minimal bonuses. Message me if you'd like a deeper dive into these numbers and what they might mean for you.

Imagine you work HARD so you ask for better pay… .. but you end up getting FIRED from your Job. Unfortunately this is exactly what happened in Austin. A team of YouTube Music, which included 42 contractors, were ousted from their jobs. Purely because they asked for better pay and benefits. They were also employed by Google as well as Cognizant. And the worst thing: They got laid off mid speech when Jack (one of the contractors) was talking to the City Council to support the negotiations. For context the average hourly rate for a contractor can be around  → $25-$30 an hour And these people, who were working with one of the biggest companies in the world got → $19 an hour And minimal benefits. And the worst thing is it's getting normalized. → Getting fired without notice → Not even having a solid reason for this  → Pay Cuts and Long Working hours → No Work Life Balance And the trend seems to just get worse.
