The Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County has released this year’s Wage and Benefit Survey, giving local employers a snapshot of what workers earn and the benefits they receive. The report shows the county’s biggest job groups are in food service, retail, healthcare, and production. High-paying roles include airline pilots and medical specialists. Officials say the survey helps businesses stay competitive and plan for growth. Fewer companies expect layoffs this year, and many report lower staff turnover across St. Clair County.
