I have a choice whether I would like my annual salary paid over 10 months with no pay in the summer or over 12 months. My annual salary doesn’t differ one way or the other.
I think the comparison was median annual income and median days of vacation per year. It doesn’t matter too much if the pay is distributed as a single annual lump sum or paid out every hour.
That's a good point. Really, you could just say that they have a seasonal part time job, but when they do it they are paid like professionals.
This might not be a problem if there were another part time job that really worked well for getting paid in the other months, but that seems difficult.
