USA Today conducted a keyword analysis (from November 20 – 28, 2023) of more than three million Glassdoor reviews of 500 large employers in 25 industries to see where pay came up the most frequently, along with the commentaries on employee pay.
The analysis uncovered that the retail industry ranks No. 8 as the industry where employees are most frustrated about pay overall. Transportation and Logistics ranked No. 9 and Packaged Goods No. 15.
IT, Internet, Software & Services landed at No. 21 on the “rate of pay frustration by industry” list, but also landed at No. 5 on the list of industries where employees are “least frustrated about pay.”
