New numbers show wages in Kansas are on their way up.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, workers in the Sunflower State saw a 4.7% jump in personal income in the past quarter. That increase is the 10th highest in the nation and outpaces the national average of 4.5%.

“It’s great to see Kansans taking home bigger paychecks as our economy continues to improve,” said Gov. Jeff Colyer.

Colyer's Office points out that Kansas wages grew faster than any other of six states in the Great Plains region.

“We have been hard at work in Kansas trying to attract higher value jobs to our state in order to grow our economy, and we are delighted to see earnings on the rise as a result of businesses investing more in our state,” Colyer added.

Nationwide, wages increased in 21 of the 24 industries the agency tracks and was led by the mining and farming sectors. The 4.5% wage growth last quarter was on top of a 5.1% hike in the previous period.

To track personal income growth, the BEA says it combined earnings, property income, and transfer receipts.
