It just depends on what they did
The salaries increased, sometimes drastically some times slowly. An average worker in the 1900 had a salary between 256$ and $439 per year, while in 1929 the average salary was between 752$ and 1164$ per year. This all stopped and became much much worse when the great depression hit in the thirties which left the economy devastated.
I’m going to have to say that Southern states pay more because the income of southerns are in low wage.
The main purpose of Albany plan is to place British north American Colonies under a centralized Government.
The colonist does not want this to happen because they don't want to give their control over local affairs to a central Government which will diminish their power
