Neuchâtel, 30.09.2024 – Half of cultural workers have a part-time job, 14% have several jobs and a good quarter are self-employed. This is significantly more than in the economy as a whole. In Switzerland, full-time cultural workers earned a median salary of 69,600 francs in 2023, while their part-time colleagues earned 45,700 francs. In this area, a significant gender disparity can be noted: for a full-time position, a woman earned 78,000 francs while a man earned 98,000 francs. These are some of the recent results of the cultural economy statistics of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), which contain, for the first time, detailed data on salaries.
