Most people in
accountancy jobs think their partner's salaries need to be larger, according to research by Hudson.
The study found that although seven per cent of
banking and finance professionals claim to be unconcerned by their partner's financial assistance to the household, 60 per cent of male and 68 per cent of females think they are not contributing enough.
Guy Hayward, head of the firm's London business, claimed that although it was of no surprise that professionals are concerned about finances in the current economic climate, the majority of
banking and finance professionals know there is more to being happy in a job than a good salary.
"The challenge offered by a role, the culture of an organisation and opportunities for training and progression are often the factors that contribute most to happiness or force workers to head for the door," he said.
According to Hudson, the research reveals the pressure people in
banking jobs feel at home to get a higher paid job.
Robert Half's Global Financial Salary Guide found that between 2006 and 2007 a salary for an
accounts assistant increased by 25 per cent, now reaching an average of £19,500.
