Quote:quote: Self-employed earnings
Earnings by self-employed archaeologists varied widely, as can be seen from the figures in Table 70. The maximum salary quoted by respondents for full-time self-employed archaeologists was £60,000 per annum, and the minimum was £5,000. It is difficult to explain the very low figures given for full-time self-employed workers, and these affect the mean and median figures for this group. If salaries below £10,000 were omitted from the calculations, the mean would be £22,657, and the median £16,334. On the basis of the figures provided by respondents, self-employed archaeologists are less well paid than full-time archaeologists in employment (although it must be noted that this is working from a very small sample size).
It is difficult to explainâ¦â¦..!
Have the people who wrote this not heard of turnover. The ifa does not understand individuals who earn money from archaeology do they?
