Ask HN: How do I go about finding public data?

4 pointsby ownedthx10년 전2 comments

Say I wanted to know if I could find data on the number of public servants a particular city employs, and data on the sort of jobs these employees have, and any other related data?

I don't know the 1st step to take in terms of finding this data.

Any suggestions?

They have public datasets that might be useful.

For the US, check the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
