‘REIGNITING THE AMERICAN DREAM IN KY:’ Kentucky is celebrating its best first quarter in state history for economic investment, bringing the total secured under Gov. Andy Beshear to more than $50 billion and creating more than 70,000 new jobs, a press release from the governor reported.
 
Beshear’s administration has reportedly also secured the highest three-year average for new wages in state history. The 2025 average came in just under $30 an hour, and the average 2026 incentivized wage through April has risen to $31.50.
