Report exposes high pay increases for heads of municipal and regional authorities

Sweden

A report by the Kommunal municipal union looks at pay developments over a 10-year period and finds that managers in local authorities have seen their pay increase by 51% while directors of county (regional) authorities have received increases totalling 80%. In contrast, the average increase for workers has been 41%. If workers had had the same in increase as local managers then they would now be Skr1400 (€153) a month better off or Skr5700 (€623) better off if they had had the county directors’ increase. The union also found that the directors of private health companies earn on average 13 times the level of salary of their employees.
