According to a new FlexJobs survey, 67% of people indicated they intend to change jobs in the next six months. Respondents listed a pay raise (38%), allowing for remote work (34%), and improved workplace culture (33%) as the leading factors that would lead them to remain with their current employers. The report polled over 3,000 U.S. professionals about their perspectives on the job market and career decisions in today’s changing world of work. Here are some survey highlights.

  • 46% of people believe the job market is worse today than it was this time last year
  • 25% have been a victim of a job scam
  • 35% know someone who has quit or is planning to quit because their employer is requiring them to return to the office
  • 57% would “absolutely” look for a new job if they were not allowed to continue working remotely
