| Job changes become rarer with increasing age and seniority Almost every fourth employed person aged 15 to 24 changed jobs between 2018 and 2019 (22.9%). The net rotation rate then gradually decreases with age to 4.7% for 55 to 64 year olds. The longer someone occupies a position, the lower the likelihood of a change. For people who have been with the company for one or two years, the net rotation rate is 18.6%, for people with seniority of seven to eight years it is 11.1%. More job changes among employees in precarious circumstances Compared to the self-employed (4.4%), employees are very mobile at work (13.9%), especially those with low hourly wages and fixed-term contracts. Most job changes can be observed in the business sectors “hospitality” and “real estate, other economic services”. |
