Tech and scientific workers overtake finance professionals as highest-paid jobs in China


The average annual income for workers employed by companies in the telecoms, software and information technology fields reached US$22,998 per person last year. — SCMP

Compensation levels in China’s finance sector continue to lose ground to the tech industry, with the latest example being scientists and researchers who are now better paid than financial professionals, according to a recent report.

After average salaries in China’s information technology industry exceeded those in the financial sector for the first time in 2016, scientific researchers have now achieved the same milestone when it comes to paychecks issued last year, according to a report released by the data research institute of 21st Century Business Herald on July 7.
