QUESTION: Law enforcement, municipalities, counties, and state and federal governments appear as “industries” in the Assessor Series, but why don’t you show pay figures for all public jobs?

 

ERI has found little interest among subscribers for surveys of public pay.  Most jobs in those sectors are literally public in all senses of the term.  Their rates of pay are public, not confidential, and are open to public examination.  Virtually no one is willing to pay for publicly available (free) data. 

 

The Salary Assessor does include a number of titles that are found in the public sector, but it tends to exclude uniformed first-response positions and elected posts, as well as jobs like Health Inspector that are only found in public entities.
