New Jersey’s $100K Club of retired public officials has more than doubled in the past four years, according to a New Jersey Watchdog analysis of state Treasury pension data.

As 2014 ended, 1,988 retirees were collecting state pensions in excess of $100,000 a year — the elite \”1-percenters\” among New Jersey’s 285,000 retirees. (Click here for the list) That number has grown quickly since 2010 when the count was 971.
