브레이크뉴스 문홍철 기자= 올해 직장인들의 연봉 인상률은 평균 5.7% 수준인 것으로 조사됐다. 지난해 대비 연봉이 인상됐지만 이에 만족하는 직장인은 소수에 그치는 것으로 나타났다.
28일 잡코리아에 따르면 2024년 연봉협상을 완료한 남녀 직장인 632명을 대상으로 연봉협상 결과를 질문한 결과, 지난해 대비 연봉이 ‘인상됐다’고 답한 직장인들은 59.2%였다.
전년 수준으로 연봉이 ‘동결됐다’고 밝힌 이들은 38.4%였고, 작년 대비 올해 연봉이 ‘삭감됐다’고 답한 직장인은 2.4%로 조사됐다.
인상폭은 평균 5.7%로 집계됐으며, 경력 년차에 따라 인상률이 달랐다. 연봉 인상률이 가장 높은 직장인은 경력 10년차였다. 이들이 밝힌 올해 연봉 인상률은 평균 6.5%였고, 다음으로 △경력 3년 미만 직장인 6.1% △5년차 5.6% △15년 이상 4.8% △7년차 4.4%로 순이었다.
‘올해 연봉 인상 수준에 만족하는가’ 질문에 52.4%의 직장인들이 ‘불만족스럽다’고 답했고, 33.9%는 ‘보통이다’를 선택했다. 올해 인상률에 만족하는 직장인은 13.8%에 그쳤다.
직장인들이 연봉 인상에 불만족하는 이유는 기대했던 것보다 실제 연봉 인상률이 낮기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 직장인들이 기대했던 연봉 인상률은 평균 9.2%로 이는 현실 연봉 인상률 보다 3.5%P 높은 수준이다.
또한, 직장인들은 △열심히 일한 것에 비해 인상폭이 낮기 때문에(48.9%) △기본 연봉이 낮아 인상률이 만족스럽지 못하기 때문에(30.5%) △회사의 영업 성과에 비해 인상률이 낮은 것 같아서(15.4%) 등을 연봉 인상 불만족 사유로 꼽았다.
한편, 연봉 인상에 대한 불만족의 표시로 어떻게 행동했는가 질문에 ‘이직 준비를 시작했다’는 의견이 응답률 75.2%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 이어 △업무에 집중하지 않았다(23.3%) △부서장 등에게 면담을 요청했다(15.1%) △퇴사 의사를 밝혔다(12.7%) 등이었다.

Office workers, average salary increase rate this year is 5.7%...more than half are dissatisfied
Break News Reporter Moon Hong-cheol= It was found that the average salary increase rate for office workers this year was around 5.7%. Although salaries have increased compared to last year, only a small number of office workers are satisfied with it.
According to Job Korea on the 28th, 632 male and female office workers who completed annual salary negotiations in 2024 were asked about the results of the salary negotiation, and 59.2% of office workers responded that their annual salary was ‘increased’ compared to last year.
Those who said their annual salary was ‘frozen’ at the previous year’s level were 38.4%, and 2.4% of office workers said their annual salary was ‘reduced’ this year compared to last year.
The average increase was calculated to be 5.7%, and the increase rate varied depending on the years of experience. The worker with the highest salary increase rate had 10 years of experience. The annual salary increase rate announced by them was an average of 6.5%, followed by 6.1% for workers with less than 3 years of experience, 5.6% for those with 5 years of experience, 4.8% for those with 15 or more years of experience, and 4.4% for those with 7 years of experience.
When asked, ‘Are you satisfied with this year’s salary increase?’, 52.4% of office workers answered ‘dissatisfied,’ and 33.9% chose ‘average.’ Only 13.8% of office workers were satisfied with this year’s increase rate.
The reason why office workers are dissatisfied with their annual salary increase appears to be because the actual annual salary increase rate is lower than expected. The average salary increase rate that office workers expected was 9.2%, which is 3.5% points higher than the actual salary increase rate.
In addition, office workers said that △the increase was low compared to their hard work (48.9%) △because the basic salary was low and the increase rate was unsatisfactory (30.5%) △because the increase rate seemed low compared to the company's sales performance (15.4%), etc. was cited as a reason for dissatisfaction with the salary increase.
Meanwhile, when asked how they acted as a sign of dissatisfaction with the salary increase, the response that they ‘started preparing for a job change’ was the highest with a response rate of 75.2%. Next, △ they did not concentrate on their work (23.3%) △ they requested a meeting with the department head (15.1%) △ they expressed their intention to leave the company (12.7%).
