TWO out of three workers believe they are underpaid, especially if they live in Scottish and Northern cities, new research shows.
A survey of 1,200 adults by jobs site CV-Library found that those in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow and Liverpool were most likely to say they were not being paid enough.
Lee Biggins, managing director of CV-Library, said: "The vast majority of workers believe that they're underpaid and it's clear that this feeling is more apparent in the North.
"London continues to offer the highest salaries, though living costs in the capital should be taken into account as these can impact take home pay massively."
The going rate for pay deals has been 2.5 per cent for six consecutive months, a study by pay analysts XpertHR found. Almost two-thirds of settlements were higher than last year.
