1 out of 4 millennials say they feel underpaid, worrying employers: Study

1 out of 4 millennials say they feel underpaid, worrying employers: Study”—but after checking current available data, I wasn’t able to locate a specific study or reputable source that exactly states “1 in 4 millennials feel underpaid”. Here’s what recent research actually shows: A survey by FinanceBuzz found that nearly 48% of millennials feel underpaid—the highest among all generations. Only 44% felt they were fairly compensated FinanceBuzz . Deloitte’s 2025 Global Gen Z & Millennial Survey reports 46% of millennials say they do not feel financially secure—an indicator of uncertainty or dissatisfaction, but not a direct “underpaid” figure Deloitte . Another recent study by Talker Research, cited by StudyFinds, shows that 23% of millennials (and Gen Z) flagged “rising expectations without increased pay” as one of the main burnout factors—but again, that’s burnout-driven frustration, not necessarily a feeling of being underpaid per se
