10 jobs where American workers are getting paid less than what they're worth

[Greece Greek Pharmacist Drugs]REUTERS/John Kolesidis We hear it all the time: "I should be making more." It's easy to dismiss this as nothing more than the grumblings of a frustrated worker, but according to new salary data from Glassdoor, there's much more truth behind this complaint than you might imagine. According to information from our Know Your Worth™ personalized salary estimator, the average U.S. employee could be earning $7,528, or 13.3% more per year than his or her current annual base salary. As if that wasn't surprising enough, some people in specific roles are missing out on even more money. If you are in one of these 25 underpaid positions, don't get angry — get paid fairly!
