South Carolina a top 10 state for largest salary growth in 2024: What to know
Harris, Trump finding common ground in proposal to nix taxes on tips
Kamala Harris called for lifting the tax on tips and raising the federal minimum wage shortly after Donald Trump, who accused her of copying his idea.
It’s easy to get caught up in the money making cycle, and it’s even easier to desire to make more. But sometimes, it’s good to hit pause and take a look at how wages are increasing in the area.
For instance, South Carolina is now the eighth state in the nation for the fastest salary growth. This information comes from Plus Docs, which examined the average weekly wages between March 2023 and March 2024, basing methodology off data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“However, the study also reveals which states are experiencing slower growth, such as Nebraska and Illinois. As such, businesses and policymakers should take note of these trends to consider which strategic investments may be necessary to spur future growth, as this will positively affect long-term economic stability across these regions.” said Plus Docs CEO and co-founder Daniel Li in a press release.
Here’s how much wages have increased in S.C., and what states are experiencing slow wage growth in 2024.
How much have wages increased in SC?
According to the study, wages increased in S.C. by 4.92% between March 2023 to March 2024.
What state had the highest wage increase in 2024?
Indiana had the highest wage growth in 2024, with weekly wages increasing from $1,203 in March 2023 to $1,271 in March 2024. In total, this accounts for a 5.65% rise in wages, which is 38.14% higher than the national average of 4.09%.
What state had the lowest wage increase in 2024?
Nebraska had the slowest wage increase in the US. The state’s wages increased by just 2.58% between March 2023 and March 2024, rising from $1,165 to $1,195. This is 36.9% below the national benchmark.

With 77 days until South Carolina football kicks off 2026 season, a look back at No. 77 George Schecterly
South Carolina football will take the field for the first time in 2026 on September 5 against Kent State. Williams-Brice Stadium will play host to the Gamecocks and Golden Flashes at 12:45 p.m., just 77 days from today.
The No. 77 is often worn by offensive linemen. One of two tough-nosed offensive tackles in a fun Gamecock era wore the number, as George Schechterly played for the Gamecocks from 1978 to 1980.
Questions about this story? Kevin Miller is discussing it with subscribers on The Insiders Forum.
Schechterly actually began his career at Penn State, playing for legendary coach Joe Paterno. However, as a redshirt, he didn’t meet the conditioning requirements to stay with the Nittany Lions. South Carolina gave him a second chance, and the offensive lineman dedicated himself to getting better. It paid off in a big way.
Despite being a little undersized, Schechterly earned a starting job at right tackle for the Gamecocks. He played opposite left tackle Chuck Slaughter, and the duo excelled at sealing off defensive ends with reach blocks.
That proved to be a big deal for South Carolina, as a running back named George Rogers made defenses pay on toss sweep plays. Of course, Rogers wound up winning the 1980 Heisman Trophy, and Schechterly and Slaughter provided a lot of assistance. The toss sweep play worked so well that the fanbase often joked that the best ideas in the team’s playbook were “George Sweep Right” and “George Sweep Left.”

That same 1980 season, Schechterly was an All-Independent selection at tackle and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the top overall blocker among Independent School blockers. He was USC’s only tackle ever to earn the honor, though several interior blockers did.
Following his graduation, Schechterly played briefly in the NFL, CFL, and USFL.
