The average salary for jobs at the 2012 Olympics games is £27,248, 13% higher than the national average salary of £24,180.
Security guards, construction workers and IT professionals look set to cash in most during the Games with average salaries for Olympic roles some 30% over the national average for their professions.
In contrast, 70,000 volunteers will work at the Olympics without pay for a month in crowd management, ticketing and event administration. Training has already started for Games Makers, who also have to cover their own travel and accommodation costs.
With a base salary £479,873, Paul Deighton, chief executive of the London Organising Committee, has probably the best paid Olympic job but private emergency medics and sports solicitors also look set to enjoy £100,000 slaaries, according to the job site.
Lower paid workers also look set to benefit from the Games, with the 2012 Olympic Committee guaranteeing all jobs advertised to be 'living wage' jobs at a minimum of £8.30 per hour, compared with the National Minimum Wage of £6.08
G4S Security, McDonald's and the London 2012 Organising Committee top the list of Olympics employers, recruiting over 10,000 staff.
Those looking for weird and wonderful jobs at the Olympics this summer should consider applying to be 'mass movement choreographers' at the opening and closing ceremonies or 'heads of streetpride' in town and cities around the UK.
Andrew Hunter, co-founder of Adzuna, said: "It's no surprise that so many people are looking to get involved in the 2012 Olympics. With over 100,000 people being paid to work on the Games this summer, new jobs are being created left, right and centre all across London and the UK - although clearly some are cashing in more than others."
