Many Americans Feel Secure in Jobs but Underpaid, Survey Reveals
A Pew Research Center survey reveals that while 88% of US workers are satisfied with their jobs, nearly a third are unhappy with their pay, primarily due to wages not keeping pace with the cost of living. The survey, which included 5,400 working adults, also found that job satisfaction varies by race, age, and income, with older and higher-income workers generally more satisfied. Despite feeling secure in their jobs, 52% of respondents believe it would be difficult to find a desirable new job, and 25% plan to job hunt in the coming months.
