Don't a lot of countries in Europe make salary info completely public? Seems like it should make creating aggregates even easier.

- cinntaile 5y agoOnly for public servants.
- loeg 5y agoIn Norway, it's all public (I think).
- raihansaputra 5y agoNorway used to have all the tax return information public through the internet. It's still available publicly to Norwegian taxpayers through a login, but now the person you're looking up knows who viewed their details.
- cinntaile 5y agoA sibling comment clarified Norway, but I'd like to add a caveat to that. Tax records don't necessarily tell you enough to be able to deduce the compensation package. It only shows the total. You could have switched jobs in june, there's likely no way to tell.
- cosmodisk 5y agoVery few, actually. They did it recently in my own country- Lithuania, really the best thing ever. It's also in public domain what kind of salaries companies pay( depending on the size,you can get mean, average, etc.)
