WOW!  Thank you all for your responses and comments!
I got about 20 responses from all different classes - they ranged from 46.6% to 75%.
Joe Hamlin also sent a spreadsheet from the 2020-2021 state aid reports (attached).  The average of all libraries was 61.3% for that year.  Thanks Joe!
Have a great day everyone!

Hello Perri,

I saw your message to MichLib-L this morning. I have attached an Excel spreadsheet showing the % of Library Expenditure spent on staffing, in a table format. This data is from our most recently available Annual Report Data collected for the FY 2020/2021 reporting period.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Joe

Subject: [Michlib-l] wage percentage of budget

We're class II, but I'm interested in all sizes of libraries:

What percentage of your total budget accounts for wages and benefits?

I want to stay in line with the norm, but I don't know what the norm is.

Thanks so much,

Perri
