Public Employee Compensation


The reality is that the pay and benefits of government workers is not that high in New York City.

It is the pay of EX-government workers that is off the charts. All the money goes to those not working.

And, by the way, all that pension income is EXEMPT FROM STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES IN NY!
