Gen Z job market turnover expected to exceed 2022 levels

If you think the Great Resignation is over, think again.

The latest snapshot of the job market by recruiting giant Robert Half shows that more Generation Z workers are likely to change jobs in 2023 than last year.

About 60% of 18- to 25-year-olds said they would likely to change jobs in early 2023, up from 53% last year. More than 50% of employees with two to four years at a company and working parents also said they were looking.

The trend worries hiring managers and is leading companies to bolster retention efforts in a stubbornly tight job market.

As the U.S. economy emerged from pandemic disruption in 2021, nearly 50 million people quit their jobs, a record. Even more workers — 50.5 million, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — resigned last year.

The youngest workers came out of the pandemic wanting bigger paychecks — and then “an extremely flexible work schedule.” there are clear preferences for younger people to work in as agile and flexible a work situation as they can find,” Carlson said. “That is clear as a bell.”

It also should not be a surprise, said Lola Brown, 22, a student and employee at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota — and soon to be a job hunter. This spring, she plans to quit her job, move to Washington, D.C., and hopefully find work as a policy analyst.

If the pandemic taught Gen Z-ers anything, “it’s that everything can change on a dime,” she said. They have “to be nimble and to pivot.”

The pandemic also changed how young employees view employers, she and other young workers said.

“There’s a new recognition of what is fair and expected, whether that be how much I am in the office or how much sick time (I get). It is not the same as pre-pandemic,” Brown said.

Paul Olson, 23, craved that flexibility.

He had a good job with a medical equipment distributor. But one day as he waiting to talk to a Mayo Clinic physician about surgery tools, he was watching construction workers.

With 20 seconds left in regulation, OSU had its top choice at the line, in an even 55-55 contest.

Asberry missed both. The score remained tied at the end of regulation, and the Cowboys ended up losing 65-59 in

“We have him (Asberry) shoot technical free throws,” coach Mike Boynton said. “There’s a reason you want a guy like that at the line cause you feel confident he’s gonna make them.”

Asberry’s free throws didn’t decide the Cowboys fate, though.

At halftime, it seemed unlikely that the Cowboy faithful would have ended up sticking around for the full game.

The Cowboys scored 17 points in the first half, their lowest scoring output in a half this season.

Work-life balance was most important for 45% of Gen Z and 40% of millennials, said Jennifer Carlson, vice president and region director of Robert Half for the Twin Cities.

In contrast, only 30% of surveyed baby boomers insisted on flexible schedules during their job hunt.

Olson had always wanted to work with his hands, and that day sent him soul-searching.

He is now a carpenter apprentice with Hopkins-based Braxton Hancock & Sons, building trusses, walls and stairwells for apartment buildings in the Twin Cities.
