Wow. 5,000 subscribers in 48 hours! Thank you everyone! I’m really excited to be substacking (is it a verb?). Here’s another graph that fascinates me. It's from a Swiss study in which people were asked how (im)moral they think a particular industry is. Unsurprisingly, respondents answered that the tobacco industry and the gambling industry are quite immoral, and that industries like construction or public administration are very good and useful. Next, the researchers put the hourly wages in these industries on the Y-axis, and a disturbing correlation emerged: the more you earn, the more immoral your work. (From my book Moral Ambition, the study is: Schneider et al., “Sorting and Wage Premiums in Immoral Work”.)
