Many recent job switchers may fuel the Great Resignation trend in the near term, a new survey suggests.

Highlights

  • Survey: Two of every five workers who switched jobs over the past year are looking for work again.
  • Of those recent job-switchers, 40% are already actively looking for another job.
  • Employers may need to reconsider pay, benefits and other workplace issues.
  • Almost 60% of those who recently took new jobs had two or more competing offers when they made their decision, the survey found.
  • Almost 48 million people will leave their jobs voluntarily in 2021, an annual record, Grant Thornton said.
  • Workers are benefiting from a hot labor market in which job openings are near record highs and pay has increased at its fastest clip in years.
