URBANA (AP) — More than 400 employees at the University of Illinois' campus in Urbana-Champaign are earning an annual salary of $150,000 or more.

The (Champaign) News-Gazette (http://bit.ly/TMgWDb ) reports that the 472 employees in that category mark an increase from recent years, but that number is down from 2008 when 528 employees earned $150,000 or more. The News-Gazette found that 155 employees are in the $200,000-or-more category this year.

The stats show that salaries are edging higher after several years of hiring freezes, furloughs, retirements and budget woes.
