The annual salary for chimney sweeps is close to $20,000 per year. Many of the people do not actually work full-time.

Yes they did, but hardly any money. Around two to four shillings a week. Edit: ML
yes but very little.
Six pence a day
Oh, dude, back in the Victorian times, a chimney sweep would rake in about 4 to 6 shillings a week. That's like the price of a fancy coffee these days, but instead of a latte, they were inhaling soot and risking their lives climbing up chimneys. So, yeah, not the most glamorous job, but hey, someone had to do it, right?
A chimney sweep in the Victorian Era got paid about 10 Shillings in Europe. Less than a dollar in the United States. The chimney sweep himself did very little work. Boys that were small enough, sometimes as young as four, would be trained to do the chimney sweep's job because of the tight spaces. The boys were paid very little and very often got sick with cancer from the fumes.

6-10 shillings a play
I think they were paid around 28 shillings (£40.21) a week!
tributers were paid 25 shillings a week. in modern times that would be £1.25 a week. isn't much is it? but that was how much they were paid.
A typical wage for male factory workers in the Victorian era was about 15 shillings a week. Female factory workers earned about 7 shillings a week.
