The number of public-sector workers earning more than $100,000 has grown, the provincial government's latest "sunshine list" reveals.

The list, released annually, now includes the names of 88,412 people, an increase of 11 per cent over the number of individuals included on the list last year. Since 2009, its ranks have grown by 39 per cent.

Progressive Conservative finance critic Peter Shurman suggested the sharp growth in the size of the list demonstrates the need for a wage freeze.

"This is a government that wants people in Ontario to believe that they have effictively dealt with salaries in the broader public sector," Shurman said. "They haven't and this is the proof that they haven't, and this is the reason why we say we need a legislated mandatory wage freeze."
