Employees in the public sector - in terms of the "Selected Findings on the Labor Force" methodology, public sector employees are taken to be persons working in central administration organizations, state enterprises, organizations owned by regional and municipal governments and organizations under international ownership predominantly in the public sector.
27.8% of all working people in Slovakia are either paid from public funds or work for organizations which are at least partly state-owned. Data valid as of 31.12.2007.
How much do state employees cost us?
Salaries for employees in public administration will cost us more than SKK 110 billion in 2006. This means that each citizen will pay, on average, SKK 20,000 toward state employees' salaries.

The likelihood hood that this number will not grow further - or even possibly fall at some point - is minimal.
