Education
University professors, associate professors, and college instructors at publicly-funded post-secondary institutions.
These are total earnings actually disclosed — including overtime, shift premiums and retroactive pay, not base salary. Each province only publishes public-sector staff earning above a set threshold (Ontario $100,000, BC $75,000, Manitoba $85,000, Alberta ~$155,176), so anyone paid less is excluded and the averages skew high — most of all for roles whose standard pay sits near that threshold.
What the collective-agreement wage grid actually pays, before overtime — the disclosed averages above are not base salary.

Looking for a specific person or employer?
Rank salary FLOORS (Assistant-Professor floor up to Full-Professor floor) at one representative research university per province. Actual pay rises well above these floors through merit/progression, so they are not compared to disclosed pay. Faculty pay has no province-wide grid — other universities differ.
