The Gist: Athens is a top city for job-switchers, with many workers barely passing the year mark before seeking new employment.
What Happened?: In a fresh dive into the work habits of the U.S., Resume.io dug into LinkedIn profiles to unearth trends in employee loyalty. Turns out, Athens ranks fifth among cities with a penchant for job-hopping.
By The Numbers:
- 18.52% of Athens workers stay at their job for less than a year.
- The study broadly categorized workers as “job-hoppers” (those sticking around under a year) and “loyal” (those logging over a decade).
Why It Matters: Frequent job changes in Athens could reflect an array of factors. Maybe a bustling startup scene, shifting industries, or young workers testing waters. Regardless, understanding this trend can shape recruitment strategies and workplace dynamics.
