The top 15 jobs people want to quit the most, according to a recent survey
Summary
The poll, conducted by the software firm Payscale, identified the top 15 jobs workers are planning to quit partially due to stressful work environments, return-to-office mandates, low compensation packages and the current state of the economy. Workers in industries ranging from tech to healthcare dominated the list, even with some of these positions boasting median salaries of over six figures. While some respondents indicated they hoped to find work in other professions or fields, many were simply seeking to leave their jobs for identical or similar roles at other companies, where there may be better compensation, benefits, or work-life balance. Payscale also noted that the “expansion of pay transparency legislation” may have given some of these employees a peek at the salaries they could earn for the same job elsewhere, inspiring them to jump ship. Payscale’s 2023 End-of-Year Job Market Report was compiled using data provided by more than 770,000 U.S. workers between November 2022 and October 2023.
