About the survey

  • We have pivoted from an update anytime during the year survey to a once-a-year window to update data.  That process allows for a more robust data validation procedure to build greater confidence in data reliability. 
  • Participation in the survey is required for free access. An annual fee will be charged for nonparticipating entities or other organizations requesting access. To purchase access to the 2024 survey, view the request to purchase access form (doc) or contact League HR staff for more information at [email protected].
  • This survey tool will allow you to compare salaries and benefits of your staff to those of other city and county organizations throughout Minnesota.
  • Over 400 Minnesota cities and counties (Greater Minnesota and the metro area), as well as other public-sector organizations are included in the 2024 survey.
  • We are committed to a providing a reliable and intuitive platform from which to pull reports, that said, Gallagher, the survey administrator, provided a webinar to review the survey reporting dashboard.  View the MN Local Government Salary & Benefits 2024 Survey Results Webinar (vimeo.com)
