How much do Triangle town and city employees make? Search updated salaries here

The News & Observer frequently obtains, analyzes and shares public records to inform readers about how governments spend their tax dollars. This is part of our priority to make the workings of public agencies more transparent.

Among the public records we regularly retrieve are public employees’ salaries. For many years, we have published state government employee salaries and university system salaries.

In 2021, we published the salaries of Triangle county and municipal employees. We have updated that information with 2022 data, the latest available.

Some caveats: The data excludes public school employees. And it contains only employees’ base annual salary, not compensation from overtime, bonuses or other types of additional pay.
