It includes a monthly report and a tabulated database in total and by agency of the following variables:

1. Number of positions occupied at the end of the reference month, broken down by type of position (Career, Trust, Transitional, Irregular and Others) and by type of entity (Governor's Office, Departments and Agencies, Public Corporations, Judicial Branch, Legislative Branch, Municipalities, and others).
2. Monthly change in the number of positions held by type of position and by type of entity.
3. Total number of occupied positions for each government entity.
4. Number of positions with employees reported to the State Insurance Fund (available through December 2016).

The statistics presented in this report come from the Register of Occupied Positions and Related Information, created under Act No. 103-2006, known as the Puerto Rico Government Tax Reform Act of 2006. Every government entity is required to certify this information to the Comptroller's Office on a monthly basis. In those cases where the entity has not fulfilled its duty to certify its figures in a timely manner, the Statistics Institute makes a simple statistical attribution to the missing data to complete the statistics. Specifically, for positions held and for people reported to the State Insurance Fund, the last figure reported by the government entity is used. As of the seventh month without reporting, the figures are not counted and these agencies are identified in table 4 of the report. All figures are preliminary and are subject to revision.
