Cities with highest job-hopping trends revealed
NORTH BRABANT, BELGIUM — A recent study by software firm Resume.io analyzed LinkedIn data to identify cities with prominent job-hopping and employee loyalty trends globally.
In the United States (U.S.), Berkeley came out as the job-hopping capital of the country, with 19.23% of its workforce switching jobs in the past year due to its proximity to Silicon Valley. Conversely, Rochester boasts a loyal workforce, as 33.33% were found to stick with their employers for over ten years.
Meanwhile, Manchester led the United Kingdom (UK) with a 20.87% job-hopping rate, while Preston has 23.21% of its employees staying beyond a decade.
Michael Butler, HR head of business consultancy Radius Worldwide, said job-hopping is more prevalent in the U.S. and UK than in other countries.
But he warned employees aged thirty and up to avoid switching jobs more than twice in a decade.
Resume.io’s report also highlighted Brisbane as Australia’s job-hopping capital, with 18.61% of its employees staying at their jobs for under one year. On the other hand, Newcastle is the country’s job-for-life capital, holding 20.51% of employees for over ten years.
In Canada, Vancouver stands out with a 20.50% job-hopping rate. The city’s tech industry is growing at a rate of 6% annually, stirring a pool of around 75,000 local tech workers to switch jobs as often as possible.
Ottawa reflects employee commitment, with 27.22% staying for over a decade. However, it is also known for its 17.22% annual turnover rate, just under Vancouver and Montreal for job-hopping.
Resume.io stated that job-hopping is mostly appealing to young professionals due to its professional advantages and salary increases.
Still, the report pointed out that this trend should only be pursued as a “deliberate and achievable career strategy” to avoid potential downsides in reputation and compensation.
