Data on government employees

Sikt has received data from the Ministry of Government Administration, Reform and Church Affairs (FAD) about government employees, with SST as the source. On behalf of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development (KRD), NSD has systematized and prepared these data. The SST data covers the period from 1980 to 2014.

NB: Missing data on government employees after 2014:

With the establishment of the A-ordningen in 2015, the collection of salary data for all employees was coordinated and regulated by the A-opplysningsloven (https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2012-06-22-43). From the same time, the operation of the Central Government Employee Register (SST) ceased. After transitioning to A-ordningen, the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation (KMD) no longer has legal grounds to pass on data about government employees from Statistics Norway (SSB) to NSD / Sikt. The time series from SST therefore only covers the period 1980–2014.

Users of this service who wish to retrieve detailed data on government employees can contact Statistics Norway or find the information via the Statistics Bank (https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken).

The Government Administration Database currently shows information about the number of government employees on pages displaying data from the Register of Business Enterprises.
