Workers seeking a new job cited salary as the leading reason for wanting to leave their current gig. "Limiting opportunities exist within several employers right now," Scott Dobroski, a career trends expert at Indeed, tells CNBC Make It.

But just 13% say they'd be willing to share their pay with co-workers, even if their co-workers would be the ones to benefit the most from salary transparency. Pay transparency has been gaining traction since 2020, and eight states and several cities now have laws that require employers to disclose salary ranges. Roughly 26.6% of the U.S. labor force lives in a state that requires employers to practice salary transparency, according to the National Women's Law Center. "It sounds prehistoric almost, because pay really influences how we live our lives." But discussing pay with co-workers can provide crucial information that employees can then use to negotiate salaries, especially when transparency is widespread throughout a company.
