In Georgia, if you're a state employee, you're probably listed by name here:
https://www.audits.state.ga.us/esa/confirm.aud
So, blocking the work number thing wouldn't do a lot of good for some of us.
I guess it's a downside of getting paid by the state.

Our company uses The Work Number, but I was never aware that salary information was on it. We use it in QC to verify the position of a borrower plus the dates of employment.

I just checked my mom. I never knew how much she made, but whoa! She makes more than my husband's and my salary combined. Go Mom!

I imagine there are more companies out there doing the same thing.

Interesting how many companies participate - my company does not.
Re: the state salaries, is that public info in all states? I know in Iowa it is, the Des Moines Register provides a search engine on their website for all State of Iowa employees.

In general, state employees' salaries are covered under various "freedom of information" policies, although it varies somewhat by state. Most have at least some place you can look this up.
As to the OP, the rationale behind not giving out salary information is to prevent problems for/between employees. While an understandable policy, it seems like a bit of an anachronism at this point, and I really don't have any problem with companies giving out or selling this information to a third party company.
