What do workers think about their paychecks?
A recent study gauged how satisfied U.S. workers were with their salaries. Check out the findings and see if you agree.
According to a recent study by Kenexa, the majority of workers (60%) feel they are paid fairly by their employers. Thirty-seven percent believe they underpaid — and just 2% believe they are overpaid.
The study also found that gender plays a key role in how whether workers believe they’re being justly compensated. While only around one-third of men thought they were underpaid, close to half (43%) of women felt that way.
Of course, location plays a key role in what workers think about take-home pay, as well. Only 32% of employees in the Midwest feel they’re underpaid — compared to the 42% in the Northeast.
The Kenexa study was based on responses from 1,044 U.S. employees.
Readers, do you agree with the findings in this study? Do you feel you’re paid underpaid, paid fairly or overpaid? Let us know in the Comments section.
