SAN FRANCISCO � Nearly 2,000 state employees earned more than $132,000 last year, according to a newspaper report. That's up from 1,194 in 2003 and 1,021 in 2002.
The state controller's office provided data on the state's highest paid employees to the San Francisco Chronicle.
As a group, the state's top 20 best-paid employees earned $6.2 million in 2004, up 9 percent from 2003 and up 20 percent from 2002.
Pay for the top 2,000 employees rose 5 percent from 2002 to 2004. Salaries, overtime and other compensation for the state's top-paid workers all increased steadily during the past two years, despite the state's fiscal crisis.
