According to health insurance provider Unum, 65% of staff think they are underpaid compared to a mere 2% who think they are overpaid.
The report shows that, on average, British workers feel that they are underpaid by £5,250 each year. More than a million employees believe they should be earning between £10,001 and £20,000 more a year; while 1% think that they are being underpaid by more than £30,000 a year.
John Penman, head of retail marketing at Unum, said: "This research has revealed some astounding facts about how disgruntled the UK workforce is with their wages. The present economic climate means many people in the UK are likely to be feeling the pinch."
The research shows that 35-44 year-olds feel the most underpaid - on average by £5,882 per year. And people over 65 are most happy with their wage, but even in this group 52% still feel they are not being paid enough.
