Job hopping is the Gen Z way

Gen Z joined the workforce just as the pandemic shook up the job market. Not surprisingly, that's changed the way this young cohort views work, with Gen Z showing a greater willingness to job hop than older generations. Members of Gen Z are switching jobs at a rate 134% higher than in 2019, according to LinkedIn data. That compares to 24% more for millennials and 4% less for boomers. And Gen Zers plan to keep moving: 25% say they hope or plan to leave their employers in the next six months, compared with 23% of millennials and 18% of Gen Xers.
