The survey of top earners at 229 unitary, county and metropolitan councils in Britain uncovered more than 1,700 staff who received over £100,000 in 2008/9.
The figures are up by a fifth on the year before and came as council tax continued to increase and private sector workers suffered pay cuts and job losses.
