What will you find here? 

This dashboard gives users an overview of the diverse City workforce. Users can search for the title, department, and salary of specific employees or compare the number of currently active employees between departments.  

Some questions that can be answered using data in this dashboard include:

  • How many employees work for the Chicago Public Library department? 
  • What are the demographics of the City workforce by departments? 
  • How many and which currently active City employees are represented by unions? 

Data Sources 

All information presented in these dashboards is based on data stored in Chicago Integrated Personnel and Payroll Systems (CHIPPS), the City’s human resources information system. Records begin January 1, 2004, and the data is typically refreshed daily between 4:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. CST. Information entered in CHIPPS in the last 24 to 48 hours may not yet be visible. Data is current through the date of last update (listed in the top right corner of the dashboards).
