Elon Musk wants the 40-hour workweek. The Left wants us to only work 4 days a week. But how about this: work 30 hours a week and still earn up to 80,000 euros? It works in these jobs.
The less you work, the more time you have for family, friends and other pleasures in life. But those who work less usually also have less money in their accounts to be able to afford the finer things in life. Some therefore choose the model of a 30-hour week. And some can still earn above average.
The job platform Stepstone has compiled job profiles for the “Handelsblatt” in which the annual salary is more than 60,000 euros – with only 30 hours of work per week. The average salary for full-time employees in Germany is around 44,000 euros. The following overview shows that less is sometimes more. Despite part-time work, these jobs earn more than the average.
