Idaho organization launches salary database

Now you can.

A group that bills itself as a think tank dedicated to limited government has launched a salary database, that allows anyone to look up the names and pay rates for a range of government employees.

The Idaho Freedom Foundation has done a great work. This is quite amazing to know that we can have a database of 40000 employees. Its availability makes our way to check background of any of the 40000 employee’s salary data easily. If any one of your employee try to camouflage his/her true character then you simply just check his/her back ground from the site.
