Here Is What Most New York Workers Make A Year

As hard as you work and as many hours you put in a week, it seems like you never get caught up or ahead. You are not alone, this is the case for most people in America and here in New York State.

But what is the average salary for New York State workers and residents? Are people making more these days on average here in The Empire State? How does it match up to other states and the national average? A very detailed recent report shows the answers.

According to a report from the USA Today, the average salary here in New York is $84.292.

If you have a larger family, you know how important having a budget and sticking to a plan for meals and entertainment can be. We have four kids and when pizza night comes around, it is way more expensive than it was even last year. As much as we love to support the local pizzerias, it has become cheaper for us to buy frozen pizzas and make them at home.
