We all know about the Sunshine List - the names of Ontario's public sector employees that earn over $100,000 annually. Finally there is a free to use, publicly available tool to analyze all sorts of things about the list. My friend is big into technology and data and he told me about this site a few days ago. What it does: 1) Searchable database of each Sunshine List dating back to 1996. (569,000 records) 2) Compares average raises by sector, employer or even position. (For instance, what is the average raise for LCBO employees each year? Or nurses? Or police officers? What percent of city managers got a raise in any particular year?) 3) Find top earners by sector, employer or position. You can also find the top increases/decreases in salary. Pretty neat. 4) There are also some graphs, like a scatter plot of raise vs. salary. Check it out: http://www.ontariosunshinelist.com p.s. Are there sunshine lists for other provinces? Does a tool like this exist for them?

The LCBO continues to be one of the best paid Crown Agencies. There is a website about the Ontario Sunshine List that someone made that allows you to a) search anyone's name (as far back as 1996) but more interestingly, you can search for positions, or employers (like the LCBO) and see what the average raise was each year, and a bunch of other stuff. Not surprisingly, the LCBO is towards the top. You can also find the top earners at the LCBO. If you are interested in this sort of stuff, the link is: http://www.ontariosunshinelist.com To see all the stats about the LCBO, go to "View Key Metrics" then "By Employer" then enter LCBO. Thoughts?
