Watchdog asked for the racial makeup of the City of Memphis employees and also their names, dates of employment and salaries. We have studied the results and we find that the racial makeup of the full time employees fairly matches the 2000 census figures for racial makeup of the City of Memphis. However we do find a discrepancy that is interesting. Maybe there is an explanation and we will check and report.

These reports show 6458 full time employees and 1751 temporary employees. However the 2007 budget shows 5578 employees. This is quite a difference.
