“New Yorkers rely on the skills and expertise of engineers to build roads and bridges, construct large-scale buildings, and prevent disasters from occurring,” Governor Hochul said.

The increases are for professional engineers, architects, land surveyors, landscape architects and geologists within New York State agencies "who are committed to building, maintaining and strengthening vital infrastructure" used by New Yorkers.

Pay Raises From $7,000 to $13,500

"Engineering and the licensed positions that support it are some of the most competitive jobs in the world, and after extensive study of the job market, it is clear that state government needs to do more to attract a world-class talent pool to New York’s public sector. The investment in these geographic pay differentials is a smart investment in the future of the Empire State," Hochul added.

Workers will receive a raise ranging between $7,000 to $13,500 a year, depending on their position and geographic location.
