Wages and salaries. Wages and salaries make up about one-third of state and local governments’ general spending, on average, according to Census Bureau data. States spend a considerably smaller share (about 15 percent) than local governments (41 percent).
Total compensation. Spending on benefits such as health insurance and retirement is not reported to the Census but can be estimated using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Adding these costs brings the total costs of compensation for state and local workers to about 44 percent of state and local spending. Some 20 percent of state spending is for employee compensation, compared to about 55 percent of local government spending.

On average then, wages and salaries make up about 41% of local governments’ general spending and total compensation costs make up about 55% of local government spending. For the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea, from Actual FY 2009/10 Budget through Projected FY 2014/15 Budget, salaries and benefits as a percentage of the Budget have been 61% (FY 2009/10), 62% (FY 2010/11), 58% (FY 2011/12), 55% (FY 2012/13), 52% (FY 2013/14) and 53% (FY 2014/15). Prior to FY 2012/13, salaries and benefits were above average and, arguably, a reason why taxpayers monies were not available for deferred maintenance projects and normal upkeep and maintenance of infrastructure and other city assets, although the City’s above average reserve funds speak to a reluctance on the part of the City Council to use reserve funds for specific projects, not to a lack of taxpayer monies to pay down the CalPERS Side Fund debt or accomplish prioritized capital projects, as examples.
