Summary/Abstract: The systematic growth of public sector debt is a derivative of many factors. In their substrate are, among others unbalanced budgets of local government units. One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the regular increase in public administration staff resources. And then related expenses for personal expenses. The regression analysis, based on the time series covering the years 2004–2016, indicates a clear linear character of the changes taking place in this area. In turn, the correlation analysis indicates a high level of their dependence. This process takes place independently of the stated facts contained in the analytical reports and scientific papers, indicating the dysfunctions of the Polish public administration caused by excess human resources.
