Here's why American workers quit their jobs:
Data journalist covering technological, societal and media topicsPeople leave their jobs for many reasons, whether they feel the need for a new challenge, a desire to relocate to a different city or the necessity of escaping a boss that they just cannot stand any more. A new survey from compensation data and software platform PayScale found that money is actually the chief motivation for employees who decide that enough is enough.
As mentioned above, a bigger paycheck is the top reason people quit with 25% of those polled saying they are seeking to ditch their employer in order to work somewhere with a better salary. 16% of respondents said that they are generally unhappy where they currently work while 14% are aiming to get a new job at an organization more aligned with their values. Relocation is a bit rarer, cited by 11% of workers while only 2% are seeking a change in job for more flexibility.
Along with the factors driving people to leave their employers, what is attracting them to new organizations? The opportunity to do more meaningful work came first on the list with 27%. Increased responsibilities in a new role came second while a higher level of pay rounded off the top three . With unemployment low and the economy strong, worker confidence is rising which has resulted in more risk-taking according to PayScale. In February alone, 2.86 million Americans quit their jobs.
