Job Tenure Between Generations – How has the job tenure of generations changed over the past decade?
It has generally grown shorter for a couple of reasons. Younger workers tend to view a job as a contract rather than a calling. Therefore they feel less tied to one employer. It’s not that they are disloyal. They are just less likely to see loyalty as a part of the relationship. We’ve not seen any empirical studies on this since the effect would be so difficult to measure. The variables are very disparate. There might be a study within a specific industry or two.
