Salaries in Washington continued to climb in 2024.

The statewide average annual wage reached $95,160 last year, according to the Washington Employment Security Department. That’s 6.8% higher than in 2023, when the average was $89,138.

The increase was driven by a 0.7% boost in employment and a 7.5% hike in total wages and salaries, which grew by nearly $23.5 billion in 2024, the department reported.

Statewide, the average weekly wage rose from $1,714 in 2023 to $1,830 in 2024, according to figures in a department press release.
