The education sector was the single largest growth area in reporting for the provincial Sunshine List. The annual report from the province was released March 19th.
The Ontario Sunshine List, which has reported provincial, municipal, school board and crown agency salaries above $100,000 since 1997, grew by 37,508 people in the last year. Some of that growth is attributed to the health care sector where the response to the COVID-19 pandemic has added positions and overtime.
