I wonder how the graph looks like when taking into account experience.
Just to make sure, what’s the reason for excluding certain professions from the list that _seem_ like they should be up there? Medical profession, politicians, etc.
>terwijl kelners en barmannen de laagste lonen ontvangen
Horeca: we kunnen geen personeel meer vinden!
Vind’t gek?
No surprises here, right? The steep decline at about €4000 because paying more gross wage results in limited net wage, so we resort to company cars and other benefits. The absence of certain professions because on paper they make little money but their legal constructions make them loaded nonetheless. Etc.
Junk article
Above a certain limit, people are no longer receiving a “salary”, they are a BV, NV,… – same with all those professions like architect, ICT, MD, hairdresser etc….
So I guess the rightmost bar finally explains the thousands of BMWs, Mercedes and Range Rovers I see out there. I think I make a pretty decent net salary, and yet one of those cars just seems unattainable to me with all the other expenses.
Would love to see a list of how many people actually work these jobs.
EG: Directors of large companies: 1% of active population
Sellers in stores: 20% of active population
Same with the amount of people active in all sectors.
Are these monthly figures, gross yearly /12 or gross yearly/13.92?
Happy to see the brussels times posted. This newspaper deserves much more attention than the hln’s of the world, second best Belgian newspaper after De Tijd imo
Are benefits like representation costs included in this
