This page describes the compensation, salaries, and benefits that New Hampshire's public employees receive from state and local government.


The 2008 municipal wage, salary and benefit data is available here http://www.nhmunicipal.org/LGCWebSite/HumanResources/wage_salary_benefits.htm

The state has a lot of information in its Human Resources site here http://admin.state.nh.us/hr/ but it’s not neatly arranged in intelligible table suitable for posting.

If anyone would like to help with that task, just contact the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers.
