Questions and answers

Which job has the most people on the list?

Classroom Teacher, with 1,966 people in 2025.

Which job has the highest median salary?

MEDICAL/RADIATION ONCOLOGIST: $492,700 in 2025, among jobs with at least 15 people on the list.

Which job’s median rose the most?

NURSE PRACTITIONER: from $134,800 to $145,600 (+8.0%), among jobs with 50 or more people on both lists.

Why are some job titles merged?

Employers write the same job differently (“Teacher, Elementary” and “Elementary Teacher”). Titles that differ only in case, punctuation, a French half or a short inversion count as one job here; person pages keep each title exactly as published.

What is “total compensation”?

The one pay figure Newfoundland and Labrador publishes for each person for the year, shown as published. Newfoundland and Labrador does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work
