Municipal government is a labor intensive activity. The City of New York and its related agencies have more than 362,000 full-time equivalent employees; of the City's $63 billion annual expense budget, more than 57 percent, or $36 billion, is allocated to employee compensation. Using this money effectively is critical to the City's fiscal health and efficient service delivery.
