RALEIGH - After a public information request was sent to the City of Raleigh, the Telegram obtained a list of workers who earn more than $80,000 per year.

 

According to city officials, out of the 3,652 full-time positions with the City of Raleigh government, 191 people earn at least $80,000 a year in salaries.  That equates to just over 5% of the overall city workforce.

 

The amount listed for each salary does not include the amount spent on benefits such as health care coverage, bonuses, or other non-salary items.

 

The highest paid position in the City of Raleigh government is the city manager, James Allen, who earns $219,999.92 per year.   

 

Other positions at the top that pay well include the salaries for city attorney, assistant city managers and the chief financial officer.  

 

The positions at the bottom end of the $80,000 cutoff include city engineers, police lieutenants and battalion fire chiefs.  

 

The complete list of Raleigh employees who make more than $80,000, their job titles, and salaries can be found in the tables on this page.  

 

EDITOR’S NOTE: Such information is available to any citizen who makes such a public information request and is available under NC sunshine laws.

 

However, to reduce privacy concerns, unlike other newspapers that have printed the salaries of city or state workers, The Raleigh Telegram has listed the information as a JPEG graphic so that the names listed cannot be Googled or indexed by other search engines that crawl text files.  

 

As such, the information will only be available to those who directly click on the story link and read it on this page.
