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
