State Controller Malia Cohen on Tuesday published the 2022 self-reported payroll data for University of California institutions and California Community College districts on the Government Compensation in California website.

California law requires cities, counties and special districts to annually report compensation data to the State Controller’s Office.

The state controller also maintains and publishes state and CSU salary data.

No such statutory requirement exists for UC, CCCs, superior courts, fairs and expositions, First 5 commissions, or K-12 education providers; their reporting is voluntary.

The data covers more than 419,000 positions and approximately $25.16 billion in total wages.

All 11 UC institutions – including 10 campuses and the Office of the President – voluntarily filed compliant reports with the State Controller’s Office.

UC data cover 324,043 employees and more than $20.88 billion in total wages.

Thirty-eight CCC districts voluntarily filed compliant reports with the State Controller’s Office.

CCC data published cover 95,131 employees and more than $4.27 billion in total wages.

Fifteen CCC districts did not file a report with SCO, while another 19 filed reports that were not compliant.

Lake County is served by two community college districts, Mendocino-Lake Community College District and the Yuba Community College District. The State Controller’s Office said neither filed a report.

Users of the Government Compensation in California website can view compensation levels on maps and search by region; narrow results by name of the entity or by job title; and export raw data or custom reports.

The GCC site contains pay and benefit information on more than two million government jobs in California, as reported annually by each entity.

As the chief fiscal officer of California, Controller Cohen is responsible for accountability and disbursement of the state’s financial resources.

The controller has independent auditing authority over government agencies that spend state funds.

She is a member of numerous financing authorities, and fiscal and financial oversight entities including the Franchise Tax Board. She also serves on the boards for the nation’s two largest public pension funds.
