The PEW Charitable Trusts

The Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent nonprofit, is the sole beneficiary of seven individual charitable funds established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph Newton Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew. Honoring their parents’ religious conviction that good works should be done quietly, the original Pew Memorial Foundation was a grant making organization that made donations anonymously. Today The Pew Charitable Trusts is a global non-governmental organization with three broad goals: • Improve public policy by conducting rigorous analysis, linking diverse interests to pursue common cause and insisting on tangible results; • Inform the public by providing useful data that illuminate the issues and trends shaping our world; • Invigorate civic life by encouraging democratic participation and strong communities. In our hometown of Philadelphia, we support organizations that create a thriving arts and culture community and institutions that enhance the well-being of the region’s neediest citizens.

      Debt and state personal income are based on calendar years; pension and retiree health care data are based on states’ own fiscal years. Pension and debt data are shown starting in 2007—the year before the beginning of the 18-month Great Recession. Other post-employment benefits (OPEB) data is reported since fiscal 2008 because states only began publishing the plans’ unfunded obligations in fiscal 2007, and states were still adjusting to the new reporting standards in the first two years. Starting in fiscal 2017, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board implemented new requirements for reporting on the financial standing of state OPEB programs. As a result, Pew is updating its methodology for publishing unfunded OPEB promises for fiscal 2017 and beyond, and this will be reflected in future updates.The size of a state’s liability is expressed as a percentage of personal income. But when expressing how much a state’s liability has changed, such as between 2007 and 2020, the difference between those percentages is measured in percentage points, not percent.

      Volatility scores for each state’s overall tax revenue and specific tax sources were calculated using the U.S. Census Bureau’s State Government Tax Collections historical data series from fiscal 2001 to 2021. Data were adjusted to control for the effects of tax policy changes using the National Conference of State Legislatures’ State Tax Actions reports for fiscal 2001 to 2021.
