Data in these files are based on information obtained in the Annual Survey of Government
Employment and Payroll. Federal Government data were compiled by Census Bureau staff from
records of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. Thirty nine of the state governments
provided data from central payroll records for all or most of their agencies/institutions.
Data for agencies and institutions for the remaining state governments were obtained by
mail canvass questionnaires. Local governments were also canvassed using a mail
questionnaire. However, elementary and secondary school system data in Florida, North
Dakota, and Washington were supplied by special arrangements with the state education
agency in each of these states. All respondents receiving the mail questionnaire had
the option of responding using the Employment Web site developed for reporting data.
Approximately 21% of the state agency and local government respondents chose to respond on
the Web.
