Trenkwalder: almost half of the employees in the private sector are dissatisfied with their salary
49 percent of employees working at companies are dissatisfied with their salary, and the majority of them plan to change jobs within a year if they have the opportunity – it was revealed from the labor market research conducted in October by Trenkwalder, which deals with labor hire and mediation.
In the summary sent to MTI on Monday, it was indicated: the attitudes of five hundred employees working in the private sector were measured regarding their salary and their current workplace.
According to the research, 61 percent of employees expect their financial security to deteriorate this year compared to last year; this is practically the same as the 62 percent measured a year ago.
49 percent of those who are dissatisfied with their current wage level is almost the same as last year, the difference is in the level of the expected wage increase. 45 percent of those who reduced their salary would now be satisfied with a wage increase of up to 20 percent, while 31 percent said this a year ago. 29 percent of the respondents would consider an increase between 20 and 30 percent adequate.
However, the vast majority can expect the next salary increase in January at the earliest, in October only 19 percent of respondents reported that their employer had increased their salary during the year.
Last year, in the inflationary environment, this ratio reached 28 percent. 44 percent of respondents expect a year-end bonus from their employer. Three-quarters of them expect to receive an additional allowance similar to last year, 17 percent expect to receive more, while 9 percent expect to receive less.
In this situation, the proportion of those who hope to solve their financial problems by changing jobs is high. 52 percent of the respondents plan to change jobs within a year, which is 6 percentage points higher than the 46 percent measured at this time last year.
