In 2025, state employees in North Carolina will receive raises. The raises are part of a larger effort to increase salaries for state employees across the board. The average raise will be 2.5%, but some employees will receive larger raises based on their performance and experience.
The raises are important because they will help to attract and retain qualified employees. In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to hire and keep good employees due to the rising cost of living. The raises will help to make state jobs more competitive and will help to ensure that the state has a strong workforce.
