Nearly three-quarters of UK workers are going to be looking for a new job this year, with nearly one in ten (9%) hoping to move into an entirely new industry, new research reveals.
The findings from Reed.co.uk, one of the UK’s leading jobs and careers sites, show that despite the uncertainty that comes with starting a new job, regardless of whether they are changing industry, people are planning to make the move this year in a bid for a higher salary. Over half (55%) state they need or want more money in 2023, suggesting the cost-of-living crisis could be having an impact on their lifestyles.
Outside of requiring a bigger salary, one in five (20%) are looking for a better work-life balance, whilst over one in ten (13%) currently do not enjoy their job, are worried about job security, or are looking for a role with better career opportunities, such as promotions and mentorships.
