Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we found the job in each state with the lowest average annual salary.
One of the most successful movements to fight income inequality in the US in recent years has been the"Fight for 15" push to increase the minimum wage, and fast-food workers have been at the forefront of that fight.
According to a Business Insider analysis looking for the lowest-paying job in each state, there's good reason for that: Food-service workers of various types had the lowest average annual wages in 32 states.program, we found the job in each state with the lowest average annual salary among the several hundred detailed occupational groups tracked by the BLS as of May 2017, the latest available data.
In many states, jobs in food preparation or serving were the lowest-paying occupation. Fast-food cooks had the lowest average annual wage in five states, and combined food prep and serving workers — a category that also includes many fast-food workers — had the lowest average wage in six states.Because many occupations were the lowest-paying in multiple states, we've arranged the following list in alphabetical order of the 18 jobs that appear on the above map.
