Linda Smith earned $71,196 during 2019, a 4.8 percent increase over the previous year working for the state's Department of Medicaid, according to the Ohio Treasurer.

Beth Hansen saw the largest decrease at the Office of the Governor, making $179,581 less in 2019 with a total compensation of $22,461.

The national median hourly wage is $19.14, according to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to the OECD the average yearly wage in the US is more than $60,000.

Change in pay can be due to a number of factors such as retirement, job advancement, or missed time.
