Colorado state government salaries for state employees were frozen for three years, from FY2010 to FY2012. The FY2012 state budget, which took effect on July 1, 2011, gave no raises to state employees, marking the third year in a row that employees salaries remained the same. For the second year in a row, state workers were required to contribute a greater portion of their paychecks to their retirement.[1]
According to 2008 U.S. Census data, the state of Colorado and local governments in the state employed a total of 320,650 people. Of those employees, 227,729 were full-time employees receiving net wages of $971,010,148 per month and 92,921 were part-time employees paid $113,456,631 per month. More than 56% of those employees, or 180,041 employees, were in education or higher education.[2]
In 2007-08, the average base salary for a state employee was $4,161 per month, which is equal to $24.01 per hour.[3]
In 2009, the Colorado Association of Public Employees brought a bill to Assistant Majority Leader Sen. Lois Tochtrop seeking to exempt the records of particular employees' pay, and only permit access to aggregated salary information. Tochtrop is sponsored the bill, known as Senate Bill 49.[4]
The Denver Post maintained a searchable database (dead link) of Colorado state employees, along with employees of many of the state universities. Under pressure from state employees, this was removed, and it is stated that obtaining this information is now very difficult.[5]
