One of my previous articles made the point that younger workers will change jobs- often as many as ten job changes during their career. (see article titled: Employee Retention and Small Business – March 2017)
These job changes are not only expected, but data show that the changes that younger workers make are either lateral moves or jobs with higher pay; with better benefits or offer more ‘family’ time.
For older workers the pattern is different. Job changes that happen later in life, often are moves into a ‘lesser’ job. According to a recent * Squared Away research article: Older Workers’ Job Changes a Step Down (March 30, 2017) “…older workers who switch jobs often take a hit on their earnings and benefits.”
However, on the positive side, these later career job changes are often into less stressful and demanding positions.
