Showing 10 of 747 tenures.
Sorted by total, highest first. Rows measure average or median pay in today's money, hourly, weekly or monthly as each country measures it; each place is read from its own
statistics office's series (the row's chart names it), so a change is set against the place's own first day, never against another
country's level. Every row is indexed to the last month, quarter or count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start
that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it).
Changes are per cent; "per year" compounds them.
Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. Data as of Sep 2026.
