Another difference? Scottish charity bosses paid 9% less

Another wee drip on the stone of perceptions of the ways in which Scotland might be just a bit more collectivist (better) than rUK.

From Third Force News on 27th May:

‘Recruiters say Scottish charity bosses earn around 9% less than their UK counterparts. Recruitment firm BTA found that the average charity chief executive in Scotland earned £47,500, compared with £52,000 across the UK. The firm analysed job adverts over two years to compile its Scottish Charity Workforce Salary Survey ahead of the full report being published next month.

8% of the population but 11.8% of the charitable donations – ‘punching above our weight?’
