6 in 10 Employees Want a New Job in 2025

A recent Inc. article highlights a strong trend for 2025: over half of full-time U.S. employees are planning to explore new job opportunities, and 27% have already started the search. The primary drivers are low pay, feeling undervalued, burnout, and limited growth options.

What’s interesting is that 52% of these job seekers are thinking about switching industries entirely, with healthcare, finance, and tech drawing the most interest. This signals a noticeable shift in the labor market, which is worth paying attention to for retention. Employers who want to keep their talent would do well to focus on fair pay, genuine recognition, and clear paths for advancement.

At RJM Technologies, we’re well-positioned to support both sides of this shifting job market. For hiring companies, we streamline the process of finding top talent to replace departing employees with skilled professionals who are ready to contribute. And for job seekers considering a change, we provide guidance and opportunities to help them secure their next role. Our goal is to bridge the gap and make these transitions as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
