70% of US workers report feeling dissatisfied with their pay. What about you?

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes. Jobs don’t pay enough!!

I am mostly satisfied with my pay

I'm surprised that the percentage is not a lot higher. Just about everyone thinks they should make more money.

I usually thought I should make more. But there are cases when I thought I was being over-paid for what I did. That doesn't necessarily mean I thought I was over the "market rate". But I think the market rate is too high for some jobs.

I'm mostly satisfied. I'm making more money now though than I have at any job I've ever had though (I'm making $10,000 a year more now than when I left my last job), so I'm keeping things as much in context as I can.

I was under the impression that Americans considered the concept of "a fair days pay for a fair days labour" to be a socialist thing and so opposed it.

Capitalism works by getting people to work for the absolute minimum so if anything if you can afford anything above food and rent your probably being overpaid.

"Capitalism works by getting people to work for the absolute minimum"

That's not at all how capitalism works.

I'm definitely part of the 70%

I'm not dissatisfied with my pay, I'm dissatisfied with the massive chunk the IRS gouges out of it.

[Kingofkings1992]

Same. Fucking infuriating

To me it's not about that pay, more the worth. I knew in the short sided corporate world I'd never get paid my full worth. Which is why I went into business for myself. I have no problem giving the effort of about 4 people but I want to be compensated for it.

I was satisfied with the pay but I did not get enough time off.

[qwerty2469]

Im satisfied with the pay. Im unsatisfied with the 50 hours of work and no time off ever.

[Bunnybuny]
