And how much did they earn? Because the survey on earnings by occupations covers only a small share of employed writers who were performing this occupation for the whole year, the data are only informative: in 2014, average monthly earnings of writers were just over EUR 1,930 (average monthly gross earnings in Slovenia amounted to EUR 1,540); male writers were receiving on average around EUR 1,700 and female writers just over EUR 2,020.
In koliko so zaslužili? Ker je v raziskovanje o plačah po poklicih zajet le majhen odstotek zaposlenih pisateljev in pisateljic, ki so celo leto opravljali ta poklic, so podatki le informativne narave: v letu 2014 je bila njihova povprečna mesečna bruto plača nekaj več kot 1.930 evrov (povprečna slovenska bruto plača je znašala 1.540 evrov); povprečna mesečna bruto plača pisateljev je znašala okrog 1.700 evrov, povprečna mesečna bruto plača pisateljic pa malo več kot 2.020 evrov.
