Chemistry and pharma pay best in Belgium
Published
The chemical and pharmaceutical industry is the best-paying sector in Belgium. That is what the Flemish news outlet HLN reports. It concerns a sector that offers work to many people in our country and that is often cited as an important pillar of the Belgian economy.
According to the article, employees in this sector receive an average of 4,436 euros deposited into their account every month. The text also mentions a second amount of 2,727 euros, but in the available version of the article it is not clear what that amount refers to. Therefore, the difference between the two figures cannot be precisely explained here.
The sector includes various types of companies, such as companies that manufacture chemical products and companies that develop and produce medicines. Those companies often employ highly educated staff, such as researchers, engineers and laboratory technicians. The high wage level in the sector is therefore also related to the knowledge and training required for these positions.
Anyone who wants to compare their own salary with that of the chemical and pharmaceutical sector can best look at the function, the training and the precise amounts in the sector figures. The figures from the article provide a first indication, but they do not say everything about the situation of each employee.
