Summary
North Carolina’s long-delayed state budget is finally passing, delivering major pay boosts for teachers, state workers, law enforcement, and more — after a full year of negotiations. Starting teacher salaries jump from $41K to $48K, with average raises of 8% and top earners hitting $59K. All state workers get a 3% raise plus tiered bonuses: $1,750 for those earning $65K or less, $1,000 for higher earners. Law enforcement sees average 20% raises, with new pay scales for Highway Patrol and SBI agents. Retirees also get a 2.5% one-time bonus. The package also includes raises for university staff, community college workers, and even members of the General Assembly — a sweeping boost to public sector pay across the board.
