About a third of the Chicago city payroll made $100,000 or more last year, according to an analysis by the Chicago Sun-Times.
That's a far higher percentage of six-figure employees than in state or Cook County government.
The analysis combined city workers' salaries, overtime and other extra pay.
Twenty-six city workers drew paychecks that eclipsed Mayor Rahm Emanuel's pay of $216,210, the analysis found. They included a police detective, two fire department ambulance commanders and two water department operating engineers.
