The earnings on investments for Illinois public pensions went up from $2.3 million in 2021 to $2.6 million in 2022, according to data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Annual Survey of Public Pensions.

The Census Bureau's survey includes public pensions sponsored by local and state government entities with employees who are compensated with public funds. The local governments include counties, townships, school districts and special districts.

The data gathered includes revenues, expenditures, financial assets, membership and liabilities information.

It's worth noting that residents in Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are not subject to state income taxes.

The Census Bureau cautions that not all respondents answer all survey questions. Thus, some fields were left blank.

Illinois reported data from 24 pension systems, including eight state-level pension funds and 16 local-level systems. The total number of pension system members was 1,639,072 (1,291,256 at the state level and 347,816 at the local level).
