Earnings & Wages
Earnings & hours
- Average weekly earnings in Cochise County were $736.33 in May 2022 (down 6.8% from May 2021). Average weekly hours worked were 34.7 (up from 33.7 in May 2021). Countywide average hourly earnings in May were $21.22 (down 9.5% from a year ago).
- The decline in earnings is due largely to the impact of the COVID pandemic, which resulted in the initial loss of disproportionately lower-paying jobs, placing upward pressure on average earnings (since the jobs retained were higher paying). With the economic recovery, the restoration of those previously lost, lower-paying jobs (such as those in retail and the accommodation and food service industries) places downward pressure on overall average earnings.
