Who earns the biggest paychecks in Maryland? Check out our searchable database.

The largest state salaries in the Old Line State in 2016 are found at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

That's according to data provided by Maryland's Central Payroll Bureau and compiled by the Washington Business Journal.

Dr. Bartley Griffith, professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, brings home an approximate annual salary of $881,000 — the largest in the state. That’s up from the $867,000 Griffith earned in 2015 when he also carried the state’s largest paycheck.

Professors and administrators at the UMd. medical school in Baltimore represent the lion’s share of the biggest earners on the state payroll. Higher education posts at the state’s public universities dominate the top of our database, which you can browse below.

This article is incorrect. The highest public salaries in Maryland are the football and basketball coaches at the University of Maryland. Both are over 2 million a year.

I can't believe the surgeon / professor makes more money than the football coach? What's up with that?

In almost every state in the union, the college football coach is the highest paid state employee.
