(3,317 posts)A study by the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth: "Health, Well-Being and Personal Safety of Women in Germany" found that prostitutes are on average less satisfied with their work than other females.
But, asked to "grade" their job satisfaction on a scale of 1-6 (that's the old system of school grades in Germany where 1 means very good, 2=good, 3= satisfactory, 4=sufficient, 5=insufficient, 6 unsatisfactory), 33 percent checked 1 or 2 and 30 percent 3 or 4.
Whereas only 16 percent of other females said they were not satisfied (5 or 6), 37 percent of prostitutes made that assessment. Which confirms the general prejudice that prostitutes are unhappy with their job and would love to get out rather today than tomorrow. The prejudice has a sound basis. But it is not representative for all and not even for most prostitutes.
