If they would have included average years of service and average full time equivalents the data would be more meaningful.
Total county payroll cost per resident. The order spend has changed some.Boone with lowest average wages is fourth highest in spending per resident. Kane residents are the big winners.
Cook $330
Lake $227
Boone $220
McHenry $213
Randolph $190
DuPage $181
Madison $169
Will $165
Kendall $153
Kane $124
How about you show us costs for the major departments, like Trans and Sheriff depts wage costs per resident?
And yet the county is spending $30,000 for a study that will undoubtedly conclude county employees need raises.

Thanks undisputed tax fighter!
Let’s begin by lowering our Mchenry County Sheriff’s office salaries.
Did I hear a second?
Agree with Mark, this only shows a limited amount of the story
Apples and oranges.
McHenry County average wages are greatly reduced due to pay levels a Valley Hi.
True comparison would have to be at the detail level and include ALL benefits.
Remember, the heaviest burden on taxpayers are the teachers, firemen and police with their guaranteed pensions!!
Fat cat rats!
Connect the dots is right on, the McHenry figures are skewed ….
take out all the low payee employees.
McHenry could well end up the highest average entity per capita.
You realize that most of the Sheriff’s employees’ salaries are determined by union contract, right?
Exactly right! Union contracts mean well paid public and private employees.
Are we against that?
Wait a minute, this is McHenry county, home of republican nonsense.
Do you hear it coming?
It is the 2018 wave…
All or most of the counties on that list are union shops to some extent.
A by dept comparison to other counties would shed more like on if we are above or below average.
Cook Co has a hospital, that has to drive up costs per resident.
Since Sheriff and Trans are the big two, why not run those fingers against other counties so we can compare Cal?
I really don’t swallow that population figure.
The illegals number about 40,000, but that’s down bc Illinois and the county’s economies are on slo-mo collapse.
The real figure is about 280,000, incl. the illegals who aren’t really covered by the ten year and special censuses …… the school enrollment (and crime statistics) proves that.
Illegals = crime.
Did I hear fanatics?
I’d like to point out “HIGHEST GOVERNMENT” salary, while the common man can barely stay alive due to TAXES! which have to pay these salaries…
We should totally eliminate townships to save money lol
Median household income is $77k; and we know most households have at least 2 incomes.
Glad to see that county government is at $58k average salary when everyone collectively is at $38.5k.
They pull that average up by killing us in taxes.
Average county salary should not surpass average collective salary by so much.
Median household income in Woodstock is only $57,000.
Per capita income has decreased in the past decade.
Very smart catch about backing out the many extremely low Valley Hi CNA salaries, that would raise the average significantly.
