A new survey has revealed that over a third of Brits are looking for a new job role due to financial pressures caused by the cost of living crisis.
The Forbes Advisor research shows that 35% of British workers are actively seeking new work just so they can earn more.
Kevin Pratt, business expert at Forbes Advisor, explained, “There has been a long-term trend away from the ‘job for life’ culture that characterised the workplace for previous generations, and this has been given fresh impetus by the cost-of-living crisis. With household budgets under severe pressure, it looks like many people are prioritising securing a higher income above all else.
“If we go back 20 or 30 years, employers would look for a period of employment consolidation when examining a CV – evidence that a candidate was able to commit to a particular challenge for a number of years.
