U.S. Senators earn a salary of $174,000 annually, as of March 2014. Congressional salaries do increase from time to time. Members of the House of Representatives earn the same salary as Senators.
The 2005 salary survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures says that South Dakota State Senators and Reps earn $12,000 for a two year term, which would be a poverty-stricken annual salary of $6000 per year. One bright note is that they do make a per diem of $110 a day.
