Who makes more money frontend or backend developer?

I would like to ask about frontend and backend development. When considering both, which world make more money?

And which one has more (remote) jobs?

Traditionally, backend devs will make more money and seems to have more opportunities currently although front end dev is catching up. Also, we are seeing that a lot of Front End jobs are actually "Mid-End" and blur both front and back end worlds. I would assume these jobs will pay more as it is more specialized.

I would also say that backend has more remote opportunities as there are just more back end jobs in general.

PS: I have no data to back this up ;)
