In 2026, 22,383 employees at 1 British Columbia public-sector employers were disclosed on the province’s compensation disclosure (FY 2025-26, the fiscal year ending in 2026). The average disclosed compensation was $105,943 and the median was $96,267 — the disclosure covers only employees above the $75,000 threshold in force that year, not the entire public-sector workforce.
Compared with 2025, the list shrank by 141,295 names (-86%, from 163,678 to 22,383), and the average disclosed compensation fell 8.5% from $115,834.
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.
