I have two lists this year - one for the top jobs across all industries and a separate one specifically for the financial services industry, just to show how skewed the numbers are.
This is the 2009 edition of my annual list(s) of the best 100 jobs in terms of pay (see last year’s
edition).
The lists are compiled based on data from the
MOM Report on Wages in Singapore 2008.
As with previous years, the numbers reported in the
MOM survey
excludes performance bonuses, profit sharing and stock options. Even though it’s called a “survey”, actual
CPF data is used.
To generate the first list, I look at the third-quartile monthly gross wages of the selected jobs in all industries. Explanation: if you’re at the third-quartile, or 75th-percentile, your pay is higher than 75% of the people.
Here’s the top 100 best-paying jobs across
all industries (see also second list below, which is specific to the finance industry):
This second list contains the best-paying jobs in the
financial industry. Compare the top numbers here with those above:
As noted by some people previously,
pilots, military jobs,
top civil service posts and
political appointments are not included in the
MOM survey. Does anyone know why?
