Last year, as part of the “Great Resignation,” many workers were looking for new jobs with better pay and flexibility. This year, more workers are seeking new jobs than in 2022: More than half (56 percent) of the workforce is likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months, up from 51% in 2022, according to Bankrate’s 2023 job seeker survey.
The possibility of a recession this year has led to large companies such as Meta and Amazon implementing cost-cutting layoffs, and it also may be spurring workers to make new career moves. In 2023, workers say that higher pay, more flexible hours and working remotely are most important to them.
