In 2022, Louisiana had received $3.9 million in contributions to its public pension funds, according to data obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau's Annual Survey of Public Pensions.

Of that amount, $3.7 million was in state pension funds, and the remaining $204,830 was in local government pension funds.

The survey includes public pensions sponsored by local and state government entities with employees who are compensated with public funds. The local governments include counties, townships, school districts and special districts.

The data gathered includes revenues, expenditures, financial assets, membership and liabilities information.

It's worth noting that residents in Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are not subject to state income taxes.

The Census Bureau cautions that not all respondents answer all survey questions. Thus, some fields were left blank.

Louisiana reported data from 29 pension systems, including 13 state-level pension funds and 16 local-level systems. The total number of pension system members was 500,385 (476,824 at the state level and 23,561 at the local level).
