The second result from our survey about finance for PRs has revealed that 46 per cent of PRs think the industry pays well. As you can see from the diagram below, this was the majority. We had 37 responses from PRs via Twitter, who completed the questionnaire using Surveymonkey.
16.2 per cent said they did not think PR was a well paid profession. 43 per cent chose the ‘Other’ option. This allowed them to write down a few words to explain their answer to the question.
Results included PRs saying:
At first it is quite low, but this rises very quickly, making it a very well paid profession.
Better than private sector, depends on level too, less financial benefits such as pensions etc seem typical
You have to work hard, but if you play it right you can make good money.

I think PR does pay really well, definitely compared to journalism.

I like the quote that if you play it right, it can pay well.
