FTE levels increased in fiscal year 2013 compared to 10 years ago in fiscal year
2004.
The 308,799.9 average number of FTEs in fiscal year 2013 represented an increase
of 33,956.3 FTEs (12.4 percent) compared to 10 years ago in fiscal year 2004 (see
Table 3 on page 3 of the Detailed Results section of this report).
This report focuses on FTEs at state agencies and higher education institutions. In contrast, a previous State Auditor's Office
report on classified employee turnover focused on employee headcounts for full-time and part-time classified employees at
state agencies (see An Annual Report on Classified Employee Turnover for Fiscal Year 2013, State Auditor's Office Report No.
14-701, January 2014). Because the two reports focused on different populations, a comparison of the numbers in the reports
should not be made.
2 The number of FTEs shown for previous years may vary from prior State Auditor's Office FTE reports due to corrections that
agencies and higher education institutions made to their FTE data.
This project was conducted in accordance with Texas Government Code, Sections 2052.103 and 2052. 104.
