Paychex said on Friday, November 13, 2026, that 55% of full-time employees surveyed had seen their job advertised at higher pay than they earn. The findings come from the company's Employee Compensation Confidence Index, published by 95.5 WSB in a story produced by Paychex and distributed by Stacker.

The online survey covered 1,034 full-time U.S. employees and was conducted by Centiment from August 21 to August 31, 2026. Results were weighted to match the U.S. Census, with a margin of error of approximately plus or minus 3% at a 95% confidence level.

Higher Pay Posts Can Drive Turnover

Among respondents who had seen a higher-paying posting, 31% started looking for another job, while 36% asked for a raise. Employees who had seen a higher-paying posting were also more likely to have quit a job over a pay problem, at 24% compared with 13% among those who had not seen one.

The survey found that 37% of all respondents had seen a higher-paying posting at another company and 21% had seen one at their current employer. Only 21% said their employer shares pay-range data with them, pointing to a communication challenge for companies competing for payroll and HR talent.
