Benton County wages increased at a faster rate than any place in the nation, according to new data released today by the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Workers in the county saw a 9.9 percent increase in pay between December 2013 and December 2014. Workers saw an average weekly wage increase of $209, or $10,868 annually.

Wages grew the most in Benton, Ark., the county home of Wal-Mart, which posted a 9.9% gain in wages, and a 5.5% increase in payrolls.
Pretty outstanding, although not surprising, news for Northwest Arkansas.

Yep. Benton County continues to boom and become more affluent by the year. Those numbers are very impressive. It feels like things are really picking up around here. Home prices are up in the entire region.

I guess it cetainly is true: we are very well kept secret, but it sounds like the secret is almost out. At least, maybe one of these days AR and especially NWA will get the attention they deserve.
