Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
2014 → 2015

No qualifying raises were computed for the 2015 Sunshine List.

A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate. This list is ranked by the dollar increase, not by the percentage shown.

36 people were new to Economic Development, Employment & Infrastructure/Research & Innovation's list in 2015; 65 who were on it in 2014 were not. See the full 2015 roster →
