ABC evening news had a segment on the other day that said, yep, it’s all true.

PensionTsunami.com This is a tax payer watchdog type of forum. There’s a website link to the 100,000 Club for those in CA. Stunning really.

A little something for all of those Illinois teachers out there who stuck their noses into Wisconsin business.
Almost 1 billion dollar expected payout appropriated by top 100 retirees of Illinois schools.

Try and google --- php.app.com

This will lead you to DataUniverse is the portal to public government data, for state local and federal. It is good for any school district, muni, city anywhere in the country.

Here is a site, CTSunlight.org that, through FOIA has the salaries of all CT state workers posted. They are working on local salaries.

Ask your friend to compare the salary he/she gets to a comparable one in the govt.

New York state government information: State & local payroll and pensions by person & sort by amounts; labor contracts; NYSate legislature Pork Barrel, “member items” e.g. how much money and to who has been earmarked by the politician to give to their favorite organization; state and Local vendor contracts and other data.
My favorite “member item” is the from the assemblyman from a regional rust belt area, BUFFALO, who, in the same year, directed that $750,000 be given to a NYC Garment district promotion and $650,000 to a Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
I have no doubt that the bulk $179 million in earmarks given to nonprofit organizations are staffed with community organizers of the ObamaNation type. The site states “The information of this website comes from official government sources, but the Empire Center cannot guarantee data accuracy or completeness.”

If you’re ok doing some of the math yourself, the IRS website has all kinds of statistics available on their website. It’s at http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/index.html

I just was poking around there a few minutes before seeing this thread, and according to my calculations the average AGI for Wisconsin taxpayers in 2008 was approximately $52,390.42. I keep seeing different numbers quoted in every article, so I’m trying to figure out if I did my math wrong, or if they did.

Good general information about jobs and wages, including for public agency employees, is compiled by the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics and reported by the DOL’s Employment and Training Administration at O*Net Online: http://www.onetonline.org/

To find info about any job, enter a job title in the dialog box at the upper right of the page and select go; you will then be presented with a list of close matches. (For example, if you enter “police” you get a lengthy list of matches, including “police patrol officer”. Select whichever most closely matches your interest; the page that loads then lists in great detail duties performed, knowledge, skills and abilities required, etc. (great job description info). Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page for information about average wages/salaries.

This average is of course a national average. However, below the table is a drop-down list of states. Select the state you would like to see and click go to get a table comparing the the US average with your selected state average.

Even more high-resolution data can be obtained as well. Below the US-state comparison table you’ll see three links; the middle, for example, lets you “Compare wages by occupation and local area”. That selection loads a listing of various areas in the selected state, often with a color-coded map guiding you to which statistical area you need.

Happy hunting. At least some of our tax dollars are being well spent.

As other commenters have pointed out, public sector salaries are generally public information, and many newspapers sites have searchable data. The San Francisco Chronicle (hardly a right-wing rag) at http://www.sfgate.com/data/ (scroll down on the page which loads to the Salaries heading) has a list of numerous Bay-area cities and counties salaries over $100,000, where you'll find, for example, than San Jose has almost 3,000 city employees with salaries over six figures, including many regular patrol officers and firefighters. Point that out to ma and pa when they start expressing sympathies for the poor California public servant when Governor Brown, as he inevitably must, comes to Washington with hat in hand and the media are trashing heartless Republicans for balking at bailing out that great turd of a state which anchors our west coast.
