Hundreds of so-called “double-dippers” — employees with two or more public jobs — received sizable raises last year even as governments at all levels scaled back operations and reduced staff.
The good news for New Jersey’s taxpayers is that the number of double-dippers declined by about one-third from 2009 through 2010, according to an Asbury Park Press review of government pension and payroll data.
The top raise went to a lawyer and human resources director who holds two school jobs in northern New Jersey. Her public income rose by $160,787 in one year for a total of $275,404 — $100,000 more than what the governor is paid, according to public records. Other raises given to multiple job-holders ranged from less than $1,000 to $62,000.
