According to a new survey from the University of Phoenix Career Institute, though 4 in 5 employees say they're optimistic about their own career futures, more than half of all workers report they're looking for a new job or expect to be looking for a new job within the next six months. Additionally, more than 1 in 5 workers say they're unhappy with their current roles.
Other key findings of the report include:
- 47% of workers say they're experiencing burnout
- 74% of workers feel stressed in their job
- 39% of workers have attempted to obtain some sort of mental health help to deal with work anxieties
- 42% of respondents have no workplace advocate, and 56% have no workplace mentor
- 40% of respondents say their company doesn't offer opportunities to develop new skills
- 34% of respondents say their career development has been stunted by a lack of mentorship, advocacy, and/or professional networking at their jobs
The study also found that financial instability is up amongst employees, with 65% of workers now saying they live paycheck to paycheck compared to 56% a year prior – a more than 16% increase.
