U.S. Census Bureau
Public Employment and Payroll Build-a-Table
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts an annual survey of government employment as authorized by Title 13, United States Code. This survey measures the number of government civilian employees and their gross payrolls for one month. Data are for the month of March.

The Build-a-Table system will allow you to query the Census of Government Employment data from 1997, 2002, and 2007. All governments across the country were surveyed for the Census years.


There are three basic categories of data:
  • Level of Government:  State government data (all 50 states), local government data (county, municipality, township, special district, and school district data) or state and local government data combined.
  • Geography:  Data for a specific state or the District of Columbia.
  • Government Function:  Data on a specific government function, e.g., education, health, or highways.
