With inflation heating up, the “Great Resignation” is not cooling down. A new survey from professional-services provider PricewaterhouseCoopers found 26% of workers are seeking new jobs, up from 19% last year, in large part because “inflationary challenges” are forcing them to find a job that pays more.
The survey noted that only 38% of workers had money left over after paying monthly bills, down from 47% last year. In an attempt to make ends meet, 21% have two or more jobs, a trend most common among minorities and Gen Z.
The survey also found “stark demographic disparities” when it comes to artificial intelligence. Younger workers believe A.I. will have an impact on their careers — a view not shared by older workers.
