State and Local Government Finance and Public Employment and Payroll Forms

This program provides government employment and finance data for state and local governments. The surveys are conducted annually, as a national census every five years, and as sample surveys in each of the four intervening years. The Census Bureau provides these data to the Federal Reserve Board for constructing the Nation's Flow of Funds Accounts and the Bureau of Economic Analysis for the National Income and Product Accounts. The data are also used to monitor the government sector of the economy and to formulate, develop, and review public policy. Federal agencies, state and local governments, and the private sector all use these data. The respondents to this survey are state and local government officials.
