"The study surveyed over 2,000 UK respondents to determine overall job satisfaction for each industry, asking how much they are paid, if they are satisfied with their current job and if they feel they are paid fairly for their hard work. The findings suggest that pay satisfaction and job enjoyment often go hand in hand, but perceptions of fairness may play an even bigger role in workplace happiness."
"The study found that the highest paid industry is IT with over half (53%) of workers revealing a hefty salary of over £55K. This is followed by Accountancy, Banking and Finance (35%) and Business, Consulting and Management (31%). Almost unsurprisingly, those working in the IT industry had the highest job satisfaction rating compared to any other industry in the study with 45% agreeing that they were 'extremely satisfied' with their current job role."
"While nearly three quarters of respondents say they are happy in their roles, over 30% believe they are paid unfairly. Around 17% earn less than £23K a year, which is below the national living wage for a 39-hour week. But, over 20% of those surveyed earn more than £55K annually, showing a striking divide between low and highly paid workers."
Over 2,000 UK respondents were surveyed to assess job satisfaction by industry, pay, and perceptions of fairness. An estimated six million UK workers are dissatisfied with their current jobs. Nearly three quarters report happiness in their roles, while over 30% believe they are paid unfairly. Around 17% earn less than £23K annually, below the national living wage for a 39-hour week, and over 20% earn more than £55K, revealing a clear pay divide. Pay satisfaction often aligns with enjoyment, but perceptions of fairness play an even bigger role in workplace happiness. IT shows the highest pay and job satisfaction; Recruitment, HR, Property, and Construction also report high satisfaction levels.
