On the 2025 Sunshine List, 2,035 teachers were paid $100,000 or more, with a median of $105,300. Job Bank’s survey wages for everyone in the occupation are on this page.

Why are the list and Job Bank shown separately?
The list has public employees paid above its line; Job Bank’s survey covers everyone in the occupation, public and private, at every pay. Pooling them would describe neither.
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
