The top salaries of Slovenian civil servants, Dec. 2005. (source)

Visit this page to see a list of what 1,939 Slovenian civil servants earned in the last month of 2005. You’ll see that most of their salaries are generously above average. A factory worker in Slovenia, for example, might earn around 125,000 SIT (500 euros) a month, before taxes. The average monthly salary in Slovenia in December 2005 was about double that: roughly 300,000 SIT/1,250 euros (gross).

You might also notice some odd discrepancies, though, like the fact that the heads of health centers in remote villages are outearning cabinet ministers. I’m guessing it has something to do with the byzantine regulations governing public salaries. At any rate, here’s a look at the ten civil servants in Slovenia with the most bling:
