UK Arts Workers Underpaid, but Satisfied
From Jillian Steinhauer at Hyperallergic:
To break that down: ArtsHub found that 90% of workers surveyed had an undergraduate or graduate degree, versus 27% of the larger UK population. Yet the two largest salary brackets — with 31% and 30% of respondents, respectively — were £20,000–29,999 (~$32,590–48,883) and £10,000–19,999. The runner-up to those was £0–9,999, the range in which 25% of respondents earn. Half of those surveyed said they didn’t expect their salaries to rise at all this year, as compared with last year, and a little less than half (43%) said they didn’t expect their salaries to rise next year either.
