BLS Survey. Minnesota state employee pay history, from State of Minnesota salary data.
Pay by fiscal year
Total paid across all records in each year, overtime included, compared with consumer prices.

| Year | Paid | Change | Prices (CPI) | After inflation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY 2020 | $1,035 | −98.1% | +1.6% | −98.1% |
| FY 2019 | $53,758 | +43.6% | +2.1% | +40.7% |
| FY 2018 | $37,441 | — | — | — |
Each change compares a year with the one before. Large swings usually come from a partial year, extra hours or a change of job rather than a raise. Prices: Consumer Price Index (CPI-U, U.S. city average) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, averaged July to June; FY 2026 uses 11 months because October 2025 was not published.
