Is finding a new job your 2016 resolution?

January 3, 2016

A new survey from CareerBuilder finds that one in five employees (21 percent) pledge to leave their current job by the end of 2016. That is a 5 percent jump since last year.

Even starker, 30 percent of younger employees, ages 18 to 34, expect to have a new job by year’s end.

Carl Van Horn, director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, believes this actually reflects some good news nationally.
