    South Dakota e-Labor Bulletin February 2013 February 2013 Labor Market Information Center SD Department of Labor & Regulation How is South Dakota faring in BEA Economic Indicators? (Employment, Personal Income and Gross Domestic Product) From the January 2013 South Dakota e-Labor Bulletin Employment Data from BEA The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) publishes employment data for state and local areas. The data includes an estimate of the total number of jobs, including both full- and part-time jobs and detailed by place of work. (Full- and part-time jobs are counted at equal weight.)

  • Iowa Personal Income and Wage/Salary Income
    IOWA PERSONAL INCOME AND WAGE/SALARY INCOME Overview. Personal income includes wage and salary income and income earned through the operation of farms and other businesses, rent, interest, dividends, and government transfer income (Social Security, unemployment insurance, etc.). Iowa Wage and Salary Growth. Wage and salary income is a component of overall personal income. Over time, Iowa wage and salary income equals about 50.0% of total personal income. Wage and salary income is not as volatile as overall personal income. Since the end of the December 2007 U.S. recession in June 2009, annual Iowa wage and salary income growth has averaged about 3.2%. For the second quarter of calendar year (CY) 2021, wage and salary income increased 1.5% compared to the first quarter of CY 2021 and increased 11.2% compared to the same quarter of CY 2020. Iowa Personal Income Growth. Iowa personal income increased 1.3% for the second quarter of CY 2021 when compared to the same quarter of CY 2020. Income decreased 6.1% from the first quarter of CY 2021, due to a reduction in economic stimulus from the federal government. Personal income growth for the second quarter of CY 2020 was revised up to 11.9% from the originally released growth rate. Personal income growth is quite volatile over time, as is evident in Chart 2. In addition to quarterly volatility, reported personal income for Iowa suffers from significant revisions, usually related to changes in estimated farm income. Farm Proprietor Income. Since 2012, Iowa overall personal income has been growing more slowly than Iowa wage and salary income due to the decline in Iowa farm proprietor income.

  • State Minimum Wages: an Overview
    State Minimum Wages: An Overview Updated December 22, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R43792 State Minimum Wages: An Overview Summary The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), enacted in 1938, is the federal law that establishes the general minimum wage that must be paid to all covered workers. While the FLSA mandates broad minimum wage coverage, states have the option of establishing minimum wage rates that are different from those set in it. Under the provisions of the FLSA, an individual is generally covered by the higher of the state or federal minimum wage. Based on current rates and scheduled increases occurring at some point in 2021, minimum wage rates are above the federal rate of $7.25 per hour in 30 states and the District of Columbia, ranging from $1.50 to $7.75 above the federal rate. Another 13 states have minimum wage rates equal to the federal rate. The remaining 7 states have minimum wage rates below the federal rate or do not have a state minimum wage requirement. In the states with no minimum wage requirements or wages lower than the federal minimum wage, only individuals who are not covered by the FLSA are subject to those lower rates. In any given year, the exact number of states with a minimum wage rate above the federal rate may vary, depending on the interaction between the federal rate and the mechanisms in place to adjust the state minimum wage. Adjusting minimum wage rates is typically done in one of tw o ways: (1) legislatively scheduled rate increases that may include one or several increments; (2) a measure of inflation to index the value of the minimum wage to the general change in prices.

  • Impact of Minimum Wage in USVI
    US Virgin Islands Self-Sufficiency Standard And Impact of the Minimum Wage Proposal Acknowledgements The US Virgin Islands Self-Sufficiency Standard and Impact of the Minimum Wage Proposal report was developed by Mullin Associates Inc. and SygmaPCS. The project was managed by the USVI Bureau of Economic Research (BER), Office of the Governor. We acknowledge the support of BER staff, the Governors Office and the Legislature of the US Virgin Islands. US Virgin Islands Bureau of Economic Research 8201 Sub-base, Suite #4 Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas US Virgin Islands, 00802 Email: [email protected] Website: www.usviber.org March 25, 2016 Overview The US Virgin Islands’ (USVI) Governor Kenneth E. Mapp signed Bill No. 31-0236 into law on March 23, 2016, increasing the USVI’s minimum wage to $8.35 per hour in 90 days, $9.25 per hour by January 2017, and $10.50 per hour by January 2018. The USVI has now joined 29 states and the District of Columbia with a minimum wage above the current federal minimum of $7.25. This analysis brief of the unamended Bill summarizes the effects of minimum wage increases on workers, employment, and the economy. As a precursor to the analysis, the Self-Sufficiency Standard for the USVI is presented to put into context the income necessary to afford basic needs without public or private subsidy. Self-Sufficiency Standard The amount of income that families in the USVI require to be self-sufficient depends on family composition. A single adult with employer-sponsored health insurance needs to earn $10.89 per hour ($22,645 annually) to meet basic needs.
