This year’s ADP People at Work report revealed Singaporeans feel the most underpaid in the region, more than respondents in India (41%), Australia (42%), Japan (36%) and China (31%).
Employees in the arts and culture industry were the most dissatisfied with their pay with 67% in agreement, followed by respondents in the professional services (55%) and the architecture, engineering and building industries (50%).
The survey also showed how workers in Singapore place an even higher importance on salary this year at 71%, up from 69% last year.
