Majority of workers are already looking for a new job or plan to start in 2025

SEATTLE, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ResumeTemplates.com, the leading platform for free professional resume templates and examples, recent survey finds that 6 in 10 full-time U.S. workers are planning to look for new jobs in 2025, reflecting a shift in priorities and heightened concerns over compensation, work-life balance, and job security. Conducted in October 2024, the survey gathered insights from 1,258 full-time workers regarding their career plans for the coming year.

“With inflation and minimal cost-of-living increases or raises, I’m not surprised many people feel undercompensated. Companies tend to prioritize profits over employee well-being.”

According to the survey, 56% of respondents intend to pursue new job opportunities in 2025, with 27% already engaged in a job search. Of these, 1 in 3 workers are willing to leave their current role without another offer secured. Confidence remains high among job seekers, with 8 in 10 expressing optimism about finding a better position.

The survey also reveals that 21% of workers are considering a change in industries, with particular interest in fields like healthcare, finance, and technology. Workers in retail, government, and service roles are most likely to consider switching industries.

Low pay, feeling unappreciated, and burnout are significant drivers of turnover, with 40% of respondents citing compensation as a major factor for seeking new roles. Other reasons include limited career growth, poor management, and lack of flexibility.

“With inflation and minimal cost-of-living increases or raises, I’m not surprised many people feel undercompensated. Companies tend to prioritize profits over employee well-being,” says ResumeTemplates’ Chief Career Strategist Julia Toothacre. “Underappreciation, however, is often traced back to manager relationships. If your manager supports you, you likely won’t feel underappreciated, even if you are undercompensated. A good manager is transparent and open with their team about the realities of the organization.”

Work-life balance emerges as a top priority for job seekers, with 99% of respondents considering it a key factor in their next role. Close behind are job security (98%), interest in the work (97%), and higher salary (95%). Flexible hours and career growth opportunities are also essential considerations for workers.

Additionally, 30% of job seekers express concerns over the impact of AI on hiring practices, while 35% believe the 2024 presidential election may influence their job prospects. Among those who feel the election will affect their search, 57% believe their prospects would improve under a Donald Trump presidency, while 43% feel Kamala Harris would have a positive impact on opportunities.

This survey, conducted October 2024, included 1,258 U.S. respondents who work full-time. To view the complete report, please visit: https://www.resumetemplates.com/6-in-10-workers-eye-new-jobs-in-2025/
