The waste collector is better than the banker

FTAOnline New Matches obvious claim that a well-paid job is a job that has the highest probability of making happy. Fulfillment, however, can also follow alternative routes to the weight of the paycheck, someone, looking to their profession, might consider the social impact of most of the economic daily toil. The New Economics Foundation (NEF) conducted an analysis around this issue, trying to find out what the job is worth more in terms of social utility.

The survey Rather than as an attempt to draw a proper classification, the search is configured as a comparison of three professions with high remuneration and three little pay. On the one hand, and then were taken into account professionals the cleaner of a hospital worker to a

rehabilitation center for recyclable materials and an operator of children on the other, those of a banker the economic heart of London, a tax consultant and an advertising executive. Developing a number of parameters, the researchers estimated for each of the professions, what are the benefits and harm brought to society. The result does not give rise to doubt: according to British scientists involved in the cleaning with an hour of labor creates ten pounds of profit for every pound of income, while for every pound earned by the London banker, the community loses seven.

Comments The search results are certainly amenable to criticism, but the Nef, the introduction of the study, explains precisely the spirit that has guided the indagione: "We chose a new approach to assess the real value of work. We went over the view of a profession is valued economically and we verified that those who practice contributes to the welfare of society. The principles of assessment to which we were inspired to quantify the value social, environmental and economic work of the various figures. "
