On this page, you will find out about salaries in Switzerland. I tried to collect the latest complete data. I hope that here you will find some new and interesting information.
All salaries are quoted in Swiss francs. You can find out about the current Swiss franc exchange rate to other currencies on the Internet.
According to statistics, current average salary for Switzerland is 6538 Swiss francs per month.
In Switzerland, the average salaries in many professions are higher than in other countries. For example, a kindergarten teacher earns 3900 francs in Switzerland and about 2400 francs in the USA. A salesman earns about 4400 francs. A trained bricklayer whose work experience is over four years earns – 5,500 francs per month. In many other countries, you can get little more than the minimum wage on these jobs. However, you should take into consideration that Switzerland is an expensive country and taxes are high there.
Women and foreigners are more likely to have low-paid jobs than the Swiss men. According to the latest statistics, it appears that the foreigners occupy half of all low-paid jobs.
