Caught Our Eye

New salary data released

Posted by LegiStorm on April 2, 2008

The latest congressional staff salary data, from the fourth quarter of 2007, is now available from the House of Representatives. We have also released historical data from both the House and Senate in 2002 that helps build our database so that it is now complete from Oct. 1, 2002 forward.

Every three months, the House releases its salary data and we transcribe it from book form into our database. For those who have not followed the process closely, it typically takes at least two months before these books are released, and another three weeks or so for us to get the data into a database form and edit it for accuracy.

The Senate salary data, meanwhile, is released every six months. Our last Senate data goes through September 2007. The Senate is not due to publish its latest expenditure and salary data for at least two months. We hope to have the Senate data on our site less than about three months from now.
