Is there a way to see a list of county employee salaries by position online?

Employee salaries are available online for most counties, but depending on the county in question, county employee salaries may be published by position, department or by the name of the person in a specific job. Several counties publish their lists as searchable databases that allow sorting by a preferred field.

Some counties' local authorities publish their own lists of employee salaries, while others rely on local media outlets to publish this information. In either case, many lists restrict the information to those county employees earning above a specific amount annually, though the number of people earning lower salaries is also frequently provided. Counties with fully searchable databases are more likely to include all levels of employee in their listings.
