Public Sector Pay and Employment Data

Since 1993, OECD/GOV has updated and maintained the Public Sector Pay and Employment (PSPE) Database. The purpose of the database is to meet the rising demand for information on pay and employment trends. This serial data is unique, and no other organisation in the world manages a database of this kind. There have been many information requests on this database from member governments, other international organisations, scholars, and other OECD directorates.

The results of the last update are presented in the document "Highlights of Public Sector Pay and Employment Trends".

Below is the list of tables and figures (in Microsoft Excel):
