Just on a point of information again...
It is actually 36% of CILIP members who are on income-related
subscription rates and who declare incomes of 17,000 or less - not 44%.
The 44% figure refers to income-related subscription payers who earn
between 17,000 and 22,000, and finally there are 20% earning above
22,000.
N.B. These percentages refer only to those members who are on
income-related rates, and don't take into account categories such as
affiliated or supporting or expatriate members, who are on a flat rate
already.

Subject: Re : 44% of us earn #17K (or less)
I was horrified to learn that 44% of CILIP's members are on ?17K or
less.
Leaving aside the contemplation of salaries of ?10K- 12K.
As those of us who work in London know, a second-jobber secretary with
A-levels (and secretarial college, I assume) can earn more than that (My
employer is seeking someone of that ilk, and I believe the salary is
?25K-?28K)
If I had my time over, I would make sure I had decent IT, document
production and related skills. I think that I might never have been
unemployed, while I looked for information work. If I had been lost to
the
profession, then that would have been the operation of "market forces".
