Are you thinking about jumping ship?

According to a survey from Spherion, 37% of workers surveyed in November said that they would look for a new job within the next year.

The survey also found that 39% are confident that they will find a new position.  The survey was given to 2,766 employed people in the U.S.

Are you one of those that are looking for a new position? If so, what is the factor behind your decision- more pay, better benefits or something else?

Is the grass always greener?

According to a new survey from Right Management, employers may soon be scrambling to keep their employees from leaving.

The survey found that 60% of U.S. workers are planning to persue new job opportunities as the economy improves in 2010. 21% said that they "maybe" would be open to new oportunities and they have already started networking.

6% said "its not likely that they would leave," and only 13% said that they has intentions to stay at their job. One thing is for sure- employee turnover is on the rise.

But, is the grass always greener?

What about you? Would you be open to new opportunities once the job market picks up? What are some factors that would cause you to leave your current job (more money, better benefits, etc.)?
