Nearly 2,000 Nevada government employees in $100,000 club

04/21/03 Posted in Education, Government (federal/state/local)

Dave Berns of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reviewed state payroll records to find that 1,857 Nevada state, county and local employees earned at least $100,000 in 2002. The last time the paper did a similar survey, in 1997, it found 489 workers in the $100,000 club. “The state system of higher education employed the largest share of six-figure wage earners at 552, with 13 of the state’s top 25 moneymakers teaching at Nevada’s only medical school.”
