Majority of Employees Expect Pay Raise in 2012: Study

Glassdoor noted that still, employed  staffs' feelings about job prospects and job-market security remained moderate,  as thirty percent of the respondents, who were polled opined that  it's doubtful, they could find a job that matches their level of experience within the next six months. Meanwhile a third of respondents claimed that they remain concerned about layoffs.

"Though consumer confidence is up and the unemployment rate is down, employees remain tentative about the market," Glassdoor survey main lead Rusty Rueff said in a statement with the survey's results.

"On one hand, positive economic and company indicators are driving increased optimism around pay raises and company outlook," Rusty said. "But that optimism hasn't yet spilled over into individual job security or view of the job market."He added

Further, the study also found out that more men expected a pay raise than women as 45 percent of men said that they expect an increase in the next 12 months, compared to 40 percent of women.
