Brits think nurses and firefighters have a harder job than the prime minister despite huge pay gap

Many Brits believe that doctors, nurses, firefighters and soldiers have a harder job than the prime minister - despite all receiving a significantly lower salary.

The Prime Minister makes £164,080 a year, which is more than five times the average salary for a full-time employee in the UK at £32,280 per year.

Six in 10 people believe that it is more difficult to be a surgeon than the prime minister, with only 17 per cent believing that being a surgeon is easier. The average salary for a surgeon in the UK stands at around £90,200, according to Jobted UK.
