A Facebook page with a million followers has shared a video claiming the average annual income of a plumber is between £150,000 and £1 million. But this does not appear to be correct.
The average income of a plumber is between £150,000 and £1 million per year.Available evidence suggests this is not correct. The average income for someone employed in the ‘job group’ that includes plumbers is between £15,000 and £40,000 a year according to government figures. Self employed plumbers earn on average around £60,000 a year. Some are reported to earn considerably more than this.
The claim appears in a Facebook video about jobs that ”pay you” over £100,000 per year without a degree. The video has over 1,500 likes. One claim made about plumbers in the video is that: “their average income is between £150,000 and £1 million per year.”
