At least that is what a recent Monster.com survey reported last week after Monster surveyed over 22,000 of its’ visitors. Of course when you ask a visitor of a job board if they are looking to make a change, the chances are very, very good that they are. That is why they are there….to conduct a job search!
Interesting results, but I question the validity of how the questions were posed:
- Yes, I’ve been wanting to make a career change – 49% (10,975 votes)
- Sure, my current industry is suffering in this economy – 18% (3,921 votes)
- Maybe, I need to take the first job I can get – 22% (4,994 votes)
- No, I would not consider taking a job in another industry at this time – 11% (2,554 votes)
We will see a significant amount of ’shift’ in Las Vegas and Nevada in the upcoming years as our economy rebounds. As we all know… ‘a recession makes for great retention.’ But as new jobs in Las Vegas are being created we will experience a lot of job hopping as we always have.
