Abstract: The survey provides a rich source of data on public retirement systems administered by state and local governments in the United States and is used to collect data on the assets, revenues and expenditures of the 100 largest systems, as measured by the system assets. This survey provides the quarterly change in composition of the securities holdings of the defined benefit public employee retirement systems component of the economy. The Federal Reserve Board uses these data to track the public sector portion of the Flow of Funds Accounts. Additionally, the data are used by a variety of government officials, academics, students and non-profit organizations to analyze trends in public employee retirement and the impact of retirement obligations on the fiscal well-being of state and local governments.
