Wisconsin State Employes Fall in Number But Wages Rise 25 Percent
Wisconsin state government employes in December 1945 totaled 12 317, seven percent less than December 1941, while salaries and wages rose 23 percent. The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance cites 2 077 million in pay and bonuses for December 1945, up from 1 685 million in 1941. The drop is partly due to armed forces and civilian wartime duties. many have yet to return. Cost of living bonuses enacted in 1944 1945 and the 1943 automatic raise boosted pay, with monthly bonuses varying by earnings. An extra 10 monthly bonus was approved April 1946 to continue through year end, costing about 750 000 for nine months.
