Energy workers believe they are among most undervalued

Workers in the energy industry believe they are some of the most undervalued employees in the UK.

That’s according to CV writing specialists Purple CV, which carried out a survey of 2,500 British workers.

It showed employees in the energy sector believe they deserve an average pay rise of 43.8%.

This contrasts with the average Brit, who thinks they deserve a 37% increase in pay – this would total £8,500.43 on top of the current average salary.

Only tech, IT and education workers feel they deserve more than the staff at energy firms, at 57.5%, 52.4% and 43.9% respectively.

The majority of workers also said they would prefer more pay over extra holiday.
