It would be interesting to see the percentages for scientists and researchers independently.
For France, for instance, researchers' wages are not very high. A lecturer typically starts with about 2115 euros per month before taxes typically for instance. On the contrary, I think that the salary of engineers is competitive with the ones in the UK and Germany.
- hef19898 8y agoDepends, in aerospace employees in Germany are paid way better on average then in France. At least that was the case a couple of years ago. Unless, of course,vthe really high echalons which tended to be the contrary. Hard to compare with costs of living.
- JPLeRouzic 8y ago> A lecturer typically starts with about 2115 euros per month Indeed this a low wage considering the cost of life, but two third of French earn less than that [0]. A few days ago a statistic about middle class in France was considering 1200 euros as representative of French middle class, even if this is roughly the legal minimum wage.

- user5994461 8y agoFrench researchers at the big research institutions have a great package. A good wage, benefits you can't begin to fathom (for example 10 weeks of paid holidays is nothing special) and employment is guaranteed for life once permanent. The only negative is that the package is not really adjusted for location. It's a bit low in Paris compared to working in the industry (assuming you're good enough for that). It's competitive everywhere else.
