There are more than 420,000 city employees and now, you can find out how much each and every one of them earn.
It's thanks to an Internet project by the non-profit Empire Center group which previously allowed people to see the salaries of state employees.
"There will be people objecting to this. When we posted the state payroll, there were people who said 'You can't put my salary on, this is private information.' Well it's not private information when you work for a government, it's public information," said Lise Bang-Jensen, Manhattan Institute.
