About the data
All information was acquired via the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. Those who made less than $10,000 in 2022 were omitted. The City of Suffolk provided the data as a snapshot from Dec. 31, 2022 as a representation of the 2022 calendar year. Note: Suffolk included money earned in overtime hours as part of each employee’s salary, so Suffolk salaries are not directly comparable with salaries from other cities.
By providing this information to the public, The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press hope to shed light on spending in state and local government.
