Mississippi had the lowest median annual household income at $52,719.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although the labor market has remained relatively tight over the past year, it\u2019s still a challenging time for many U.S. workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hourly wages rose 4.3% year over year in August.

Although that was in line with most economists\u2019 expectations, the monthly gain was the biggest increase in 14 months, and the annual rate rose compared with the prior two months. Inflation hit a recent peak of 9.1% in June 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t miss: <\/strong>After a wave of layoffs, tech is hiring for AI jobs<\/p>\n<p>In July, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to a 22-year high and signaled it is prepared to raise rates again to temper elevated inflation.
