Richard-Thanks for posting-useful data! Glad to see where I am investing (El Paso County, CO) wages are increasing, not a ton (1.9%) but at least positive trend. Also surprised the county where I grew up (Stearns, MN) is up almost 5%, would not have guessed that.

One thing to keep in mind...it is easier to for low wage area to have a significant increase percentage wise, since just a small bump in income can be a big percentage...while a high income area can have a big jump in income, but it would only be a small percentage. You will see a lot of places that have a high increase have weekly wages below the $1,000 mark, while placed with higher incomes like say DC at over $1600 a week have slower growth.
