The Mississippi Legislature enacted a state lottery in August 2018. This year lottery revenue exceeded the $80 million mark in March. The first $80 million in state lottery revenue goes to transportation needs. The overall revenue for the upcoming fiscal year also includes $25 million from lottery proceeds diverted to education.

State revenue growth - spurred to a large extent by federal COVID-19 relief packages - has been strong, leading legislators to be able to increase funding for multiple state agencies and for education during the recent session. The total state-support budget for the new fiscal year beginning July 1 is $6.6 billion, or $243.5 million more than the budget for the current fiscal year. Higher education officials have said for years an ongoing problem for them is the low pay for their staff compared to pay in other Southern states. Additionally, Mississippi’s average pay for K-12 teachers is the lowest of any state in the nation. In addition, $23 million has been set aside to cover the rising costs in the health insurance plan that covers state employees, teachers and higher education faculty.Īccording to the Mississippi Personnel Board, the average pay for state employees is $39,896 per year compared to the average for the four adjoining states of $49,392. But to limit the cost of the pay raise in its first year, it will not go into effect until Jan. That addition was based on the outcome of reworking what is known as the state’s Variable Compensation Plan, which is the mechanism of placing a fair market value on each position in state government.Īccording to information provided by the staff of the Legislative Budget Committee, $6.9 million has been set aside for the state employee pay raises for the upcoming fiscal year, starting July 1. Late in the 2021 session, which ended in April, the Legislature announced it was adding funds to the budget of each agency to provide up to a 3% raise for employees. “We are currently in the phase of Project SEC where we ensure every state employee is properly classified,” she said in an emailed response to questions from Mississippi Today. “We must make sure employees are classified accurately, so they can be compensated fairly and equitably. Later this summer, we will establish market-based, data-driven salary recommendations, and the pay increases referenced in each agency’s appropriations bill will be based on these recommendations.” Until that process is complete, exact information on which state employees will receive pay raises and how much will not be known. These revisions reflect changes to MSPB policy as a result of the project.Brittany Frederick, a spokesperson with the state personnel board, said there is currently a process to determine “a fair market” pay scale for state employees based on salaries for similar positions in other states and in the private sector.
