Survey: US workers set to seek new jobs in 2010
Nearly two-thirds of US workers intend to look for new jobs next year, according to a poll released on Thursday that could indicate workers' frustration and discontent.
Nearly two-thirds of US workers intend to look for new jobs next year, according to a poll released on Thursday that could indicate workers' frustration and discontent.
Sixty percent of employees polled "intend to leave" their jobs and 21% said "Maybe, so I'm networking," according to the survey by Right Management, a talent and career management consulting firm.
Just 13% said they planned to stay in their current jobs, it found. The remaining 6% said changing jobs was "not likely, but I've updated my resume."
"Employees are clearly expressing their pent-up frustration with how they have been treated through the downturn," said Douglas Matthews, president of Right Management, in a statement.
"While employers may have taken the necessary steps to streamline operations to remain viable, it appears many employees may have felt neglected in the process," he said. "The result is a disengaged and disgruntled work force."
Right Management, part of Manpower Incorporation, surveyed 904 employees, most of them in the United States, in an online poll between October 19 and November 5.
