From the introduction:
Unlike in the private sector, nearly all employees of state and local government are required to share in the cost of their retirement benefit. Employee contributions typically are a percentage of salary as specified in statute. Although investment earnings and employer contributions account for a larger portion of total public pension fund revenues, by providing a reliable and predictable stream of revenue to public pension funds, contributions from employees fill a vital role in financing pension benefits.
