About the survey

  • This tool allows you to compare the salaries and benefits of your staff to those of other organizations throughout the entire state.
  • All Minnesota cities and counties (greater MN and metro area), as well as other public-sector organizations are included in the 2008 survey.
  • NEW—More job classes and new fields have been added. For information about the changes, see FAQs about the Salary & Benefit Survey.
  • You'll have greater capacity to sort and download the data for customized reports (e.g., sort cities by budget size or by number of employees).
  • Participation in the survey is required for free access. An annual fee will be charged for non-participating entities or other organizations requesting access.

Data entry

  • Data entry instructions and username/password were mailed in mid-April.
  • First timers: data entry may take a few hours, but the time commitment will drop drastically in future years. You'll find the effort is well worth your while when the results are available in mid-July.
