State Government FTEs Compared to Population

Operating and Capital Budget

Chart: State Government FTEs compared to Total Population

  • The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) state employees has generally tracked closely with growth in the state's total population.
  • While total population growth is a reasonable indicator of demand for state government services, growth of select population groups may further drive up demand for specific services like higher education, public assistance, or prisons.
