In 2011, 6,008 employees at 1 British Columbia public-sector employers were disclosed on the province’s compensation disclosure (FY 2010-11, the fiscal year ending in 2011). The average disclosed compensation was $93,364 and the median was $86,037 — the disclosure covers only employees above the $75,000 threshold in force that year, not the entire public-sector workforce.

Compared with 2009, the list grew by 787 names (+15%, from 5,221 to 6,008), and the average disclosed compensation rose 1.2% from $92,238.

The highest-paid person on the 2011 list was ROD J HARRIS (CEO) at Province of British Columbia, at $336,548. The full top 25 is below; for interactive filtering of all 6,008 records, use the data explorer or see the British Columbia dashboard for the latest year.

FY 2025 is the only year for which the Statement of Financial Information filings have been ingested, so its headcount is not comparable with earlier years: health authorities, school districts, crown corporations, universities and colleges all go from a handful of disclosed executives to their full over-$75,000 staff. Core government, the one sector covered the same way in both years, grew about 11%. FY 2017 is a smaller break of the same kind (the executive disclosures begin). FY 2010 is missing from the source data.
