SACRAMENTO — State Controller Betty T. Yee has published the 2020 self-reported payroll data for fairs, expositions, and First 5 commissions on the Government Compensation in California website. The data cover 1,429 positions and a total of close to $44.8 million in 2020 wages.
The newly published data include 679 positions at 27 fairs and expositions, and 750 positions at 40 First 5 commissions. California law requires cities, counties, and special districts to annually report compensation data to the State Controller. Controller Yee also maintains and publishes state government and California State University salary data. No statutory requirement exists for superior courts, UC, community college districts, fairs, expositions, First 5 commissions, or K-12 education providers; their reporting is voluntary. A list of entities that did not file or filed incomplete reports is available here.
Since the website launched in 2010, it has registered more than 12 million pageviews. The site contains pay and benefit information on more than two million government jobs in California, as reported annually by each entity.
As the chief fiscal officer of California, Controller Yee is responsible for accountability and disbursement of the state’s financial resources. The Controller has independent auditing authority over government agencies that spend state funds. She is a member of numerous financing authorities, and fiscal and financial oversight entities including the Franchise Tax Board.
