New salary data released

Posted by LegiStorm on April 2, 2008

The latest congressional staff salary data, from the fourth quarter of 2007, is now available from the House of Representatives. We have also released historical data from both the House and Senate in 2002 that helps build our database so that it is now complete from Oct. 1, 2002 forward.

Every three months, the House releases its salary data and we transcribe it from book form into our database. For those who have not followed the process closely, it typically takes at least two months before these books are released, and another three weeks or so for us to get the data into a database form and edit it for accuracy.

The Senate salary data, meanwhile, is released every six months. Our last Senate data goes through September 2007. The Senate is not due to publish its latest expenditure and salary data for at least two months. We hope to have the Senate data on our site less than about three months from now.

About Caught Our Eye

We spend a large part of our days looking at data. Documents often come in by the dozens and hundreds. And while most are boring - how interesting can staring at a phone directory or salary records be, for example? - we find daily reasons for interest, amusement or even concern packed in the documents. So we are launching a new running feature that we call "Caught our Eye."

Longer than tweets but shorter than most blog posts, Caught our Eye items will bring back the interest in reviewing documents and researching people. Some items might bring hard, breaking news. Others will raise eyebrows and lead some into further inquiry. Others might be good for a joke or two around the water cooler. All will enlighten about the people or workings of Capitol Hill.

Caught our Eye items will be published each morning for LegiStorm Pro subscribers. Non-Pro site users will be able to receive the news items a few hours later. In addition to having immediate access to the news, LegiStorm Pro users will have a handy way to search and browse all past items.
