Average House
member earned $56,517 in total compensation
Ninety-two
of the 120 members of the House claimed the $104 per diem pay
for every one of the 317 days of the 2001 legislative session.
Taking the maximum $32,968 in per diem for the session pushed
the incomes of most House members substantially higher than
their Senate counterparts.
The chart below lists House members according to their total
compensation for the year. The list does not include the
House's four top elected leaders, who
are shown in a separate chart.
The average compensation for a rank and file House member was
$56,517. Whether a House member fell above or below that point
was a factor of per diem days claimed and travel expenses.
Members who live the greatest distance from Raleigh typically
have the highest travel expenses. Below, the top several House
members all live in the western part of the state.
