15 OF THE 1,000 PERSONS EARNING OVER €75,000 ARE THE MOST NOBLE PM AND HIS ACCOLADES THAT EAT AND DRINK FROM THE SAME PLATE BY CHEWING OUR MONIES TAKEN FROM OUR POCKETS. THE RESIDUE ARE THE REMAINIG WORKERS THAT WORK THREE JOBS AND DON`T EARN AN IOTA OF THESE MOST IILUSTRIOUS MALTESE BIG HEADS.

Some percentages -
Given a total working population of 146,764 as per NSO (http://www.nso.gov.mt/statdoc/document_file.aspx?id=2933), it shows that 60% of the working population earn less than Euro 15k and the politicians (earning Euro 75k+) are in the 0.8% of the working population
People % Wage
82,515.00 56.2% < 15k
29,134.00 19.9% 15k - 20k
10,878.00 7.4% 20k - 23k
5,008.00 3.4% 23k - 25k

It would be interesting to have an exact figure of the total working population.. (to put these figures into perspective & percentages)

We should have a better breakdown of the income because it may be that both husband and wife are working and they fill in a single income tax return so that in actual fact it will not be one person who was earning X amount, but both persons taken together.
