Record Number of Workers Leaving Jobs

The primary reason for their departures is better pay elsewhere

The percentage of workers voluntarily quitting their jobs is at an all-time high, and the top reason they’re doing so is for more pay. 

So says a survey by Glassdoor, the workplace review website.

The survey, Understanding the Impact of Quality Candidates, questioned 750 hiring decision-makers in the U.S. and the U.K. and found that nearly half (45 percent) say that salary is the biggest reason that employees change jobs, followed by a desire for career advancement opportunities (32 percent), better benefits (29 percent) and a more desirable location (28 percent).
