Salaried workers' wages climbing: UConn leader top earner on state's payroll

The payroll for the 10 highest-salaried state officials has more than doubled in the last 20 years, to $1.9 million.

The president of the University of Connecticut topped the list of the best-paid agency heads for 2006, as it did 20 years ago. The job today pays slightly more than four times its 1986 salary of $95,000.

Two decades ago, the president of the state's flagship university made $17,000 more than the governor of Connecticut. Today, the gap is $235,000.

UConn President Philip E. Austin makes $385,000 a year. He last got a pay raise two years ago - $72,000.

Gov. M. Jodi Rell gets $150,000 a year. The governor's salary was last raised six years ago, when it was nearly doubled from $78,000.
