Unsurprisingly, many are medical, with radiologists coming in first with an average annual salary of $236,147.<\/p>\n
That was followed by psychiatrists ($235,233)\ufeff, GPs ($233,886), medical practitioners ($231,955), health staff specialists, ($224,382), legal firm partners ($221,781), physicians, ($218,537), construction project directors ($214,903), government and defence executive directors ($211,427), and mining\/resources\/energy maintenance managers ($209,754).<\/p>\n
The Money Matters report found that only 36 per cent of Australian workers felt financially secure right now, and that an income of at least $100,000 was needed to live comfortably.<\/p>\n
However, a significant majority of 65 per cent of respondents said a good work-life balance was more important than a higher salary.<\/p>\n
And the same proportion of respondents said they’d be willing to give up some flexibility in their job for a pay rise.<\/p>\n
Seek career coach Leah Lambart said workers faced a complex balancing act.<\/p>\n
