The typical employee was paid $82,061 in 2025: half of the 14,659 people paid earned more, half earned less. Most earned between $52,086 and $123,091.

Why do so many people earn very little?

The list includes everyone who got a paycheck during the year: part-time, seasonal and short-term workers, and people who joined or left partway through. 891 people (6.1%) were paid under $10,000.

Does this include benefits like health insurance or pension?

Where does this data come from, and when is it updated?

From California State Controller's Office (Government Compensation in California) (sco.ca.gov). Our figures match the agency's latest release; the next update is expected in late 2027.

"Typical pay" is the median: half earn more, half earn less. "Most earn" is the middle half of workers. Figures are calculated by PublicPayData from the official dataset; 0 records with $0 or negative pay are left out. How we calculate this · Corrections & removals
