Data Created: February 25, 2011

Data Last Revised: April 22, 2011

Source: 2009 Annual Survey of Public Employee Retirement Systems. Data users who create their own 

estimates using data from this report should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only. 

The data in this table are based on information from public records and contain no confidential data. Although 

the data in this table come from a census of retirement systems and are not subject to sampling error, the 

census results do contain nonsampling error. Additional information on nonsampling error, and response rates 

may be found at http://www.census.gov/govs/retire/how_data_collected.html. 

(1) The total of "net earnings" is a calculated statistic (the item code in the data file is X08), and thus can be 

positive or negative. Net earnings is the sum of earnings on investments plus gains on investments minus 

losses on investments. The change made in 2002 for asset valuation from book to market value in accordance 

with Statement 34 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board is reflected in the calculated statistics.
