Alaska, Northeast offer biggest wages
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Workers in New England, New York and New Jersey got the largest raises last year, averaging well above 5 percent, but Alaskans continue to enjoy the biggest paychecks despite a slight decline in their average earnings, the government said yesterday.
The average annual pay of workers covered by state and federal unemployment insurance programs was $19,996 in 1986, a $777 or 4 percent increase over 1985 and well ahead of an inflation rate of just 1.1 percent last year, the Labor Department said.
Massachusetts and New Hampshire, with unemployment rates running well below 3 percent, led the nation in pay increases last year, with workers there reaping average raises of 6.6 percent and 6.4 percent
Workers in Connecticut followed with annual pay increases averaging 6.1 percent. Other states where pay raises averaged more than 5 percent were New York, Maine, New Jersey, Vermont and Rhode Island.
respectively.
The smallest pay increases were concentrated in Appalachia, the Oil Belt and the West, excluding California and Arizona.
Yearly wage gains averaged less than 3 percent in Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Oregon.
Alaskans actually took a pay cut of about 1 percent. But they still led the country with the highest annual wages, averaging $28,424 in 1986.
