Florists Are Some of the Lowest Paid Employees in the UK

Tue, 13 Dec 2011

Those working in florists are some of the worst paid employees in the UK.

For the second year running, statistics highlight that waiters and waitresses are the worst-paid UK employees.

Whilst full-time salaries for employees in that category fell somewhat, total figures accounting for part-time waiting staff displayed a sharper percentage decrease of 11.2%.

Full-time salaries for hairdressers and florists also dropped sharply, by 4.4% and 7.1% respectively.

Sales assistants and fishmongers are the full-time occupations which showed the highest salary gains, with sales assistants seeing their median full-time pay increase by 7.7% and fishmongers recording a 12.1% year on year rise over the same period.

Creating floral arrangements may not be the financially rosiest profession there is after all.
