Here is the ranking of workplaces in Hungary; from businessmen to porn stars
Change language:
It is not often that hospital directors and bank governors are mentioned alongside prostitutes, drug dealers, and porn stars. But today, this is exactly what had happened, thanks to the list of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO) about the prestige of Hungarian workplaces.
Among other things, during its mini-census in 2016, HCSO examined the assessment, or in other words, the prestige, of the professions in Hungary. The results are here, and things look interesting – Napi.hu wrote.
It must be mentioned that it is not easy to measure the prestige of professions, as the analysis itself emphasises it. The literature also debates the objectivity of such examinations in contrast to analysing workplaces by wage or by production.

What were the criteria?
When compiling the ranking of jobs, the following five were the main criteria they considered.
- How much do people working in the field earn?
- Does it provide influence or authority?
- How much does it take to study in order to work in the field?
- How beneficial is it for society?
- How appealing or fashionable is it nowadays?
The Ranking
People could grade the professions between 1 and 15 points. The higher the point, the less the prestige assigned to the profession is. It is evident from the results that, according to Hungarians, the profession of hospital directors is the most prestigious. University rectors finished second, and surgeons finished last on the podium with third place.
