Ask HN: How do I go about finding public data?
Say I wanted to know if I could find data on the number of public servants a particular city employs, and data on the sort of jobs these employees have, and any other related data?
I don't know the 1st step to take in terms of finding this data.
Any suggestions?

They have public datasets that might be useful.
