I'd argue that the average monthly income of artists is lower than that of software developers. Same for workers in care.

- thenomad 10y agoThe average monthly income of artists is massively lower than that of software developers. It's probably lower than that of janitors. In the UK a professional author, on average, earns below minimum wage, for example. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11550871/Just-one-in-ten-authors-can-earn-full-time-living-from-writing-report-finds.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11550871/Just-... Again: power law curve. A very small number of authors create something that becomes a massive hit. They get extremely wealthy, because society really values their work. Most - and by "most" I mean 99.99% - don't. I'd call it an "inverse square law", but the distribution is so uneven that most artists would be tearfully grateful if it suddenly changed to only be equivalent to 1/x^2 .
