<p>Nick Saban, head coach of the men’s football team at the
University of Alabama, is paid more than $7 million annually. He
is the highest paid employee of all U.S. workers employed by a
local or state government.
</p>
<p>In the vast majority of states, college football and basketball
coaches are the highest paid public employees. When a millionaire
coach is not the state’s top earner, high ranking medical
officials or deans at state University-run hospitals and college
presidents are usually next in line. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed public
records and external sources to identify the highest paid public
employee in each state.</p>

<p><strong>12. Idaho</strong><br>
<strong>> Highest paid employee:</strong> Bryan Harsin<br>
<strong>> Position:</strong> College football coach<br>
<strong>> Salary:</strong> $1.10 million</p>
<p>In his latest season as head coach of the Boise State University
football team, Bryan Harsin earned $1.1 million, more than any
other public employee in Idaho. While Harsin is the highest paid
state employee in Idaho, his salary is lower than a majority of
Division I football coaches.</p>

<p>Please note that I am not complaining about the Idaho guy. It
could be worse. Just look at the compensation rates for other
states, and notice what's happening. If anything, these top
salaries are an ample prompt to examine what other public
employees are earning, and raise some of their wages in manners
more equitably approaching the justice of their efforts.</p>
