Public Salary Website
Just wondering if the salaries on here are accurate. If so, it seems many are getting HUGE raises every year.

From what I can tell, yes, they're accurate. I work for NYCT and mine looks right. It's from 2023, so I don't know if it's the exact figure, but close enough.

Wow, this is what I see for people I know.
1. Teacher, $16,000 more in 1 year
2. Cop, $49k in 2 years, unless that is OT added in.
3. State employee, $10k more in 1 year
4. State employee, 5K more in 1 year
5. Town employee, 15k, maybe OT?
6. School, 13K more in 1 year
7. LIRR, 21K more in 1 year, maybe OT?
Guess I picked the wrong occupation as if I DO ever get a raise, is it like $1,000 more a year, which is basically nothing once my insurance and bills go up so I usually just break even and back to square one.

It's accurate. It also includes overtime or additional roles that someone might pick up (like a teacher coaching a team).
I feel your pain. I went into the private sector thinking my raises and lifetime earnings would exceed my counterparts in the public sector. Well, over time, our annual raises have not kept pace. My salary is the same, if not lower than those doing similar jobs in the public sector, our annual raises are minimal percentages AND we don't get a pension but rather get a small annual contribution to our retirement accounts (that will be nowhere near the value of a pension). It's been the biggest regret of my lifetime, sad to say.

Ugghhh yeah. I don't think I could handle the parents now to be a teacher but at least I would have been making a lot more money and have a pension.

It's accurate - on top of what is mentioned above, it also includes changes in contract. My DH is FDNY and often times they are without a contract for years and once a new contract is signed, it's retroactive to the last contract end date. So it may look like someone gets a large bump but really it's 2-3% a year...
I hear you though, I've worked for the same place for 5.5 years now (private company) and have received 1 raise that was below the cost of living. But I do have a ton of flexibility to be able to do a lot of things during the work day, and a short commute, so it's a trade off.
ETA - You made me look though, it's crazy to look at the teacher salaries in my district... My son's elementary school gym teacher is making more than the MS principal right now because of time with the district, coaching, etc.

Some are just so crazy and it is so disheartening when you know the people and what little effort they put into their jobs and the pay they get.

The increases can be OT like you said. They can also be from step within a contract or moving to different departments, changing classification, becoming a supervisor...

Its disheartening when anyone has a job, is getting paid well and for what little effort they put in. It doesn't matter if its private or public sector.
Public - Yes, their salaries come from taxes.
Private - Their salaries come from the cost of the services they provide or price for the goods you buy.
You are paying for it either way.
