New Study Shows Millennials Leave Jobs Every Two Years

Recruiters refer to candidates who jump ship from job to job within two years as job hoppers but according to a recent report, millennials are just the new normal.

That is, according to a study conducted by PayScale and Millennial Branding, 18 to 30-year olds in the job market switch employers every two years. In comparison, baby boomers typically spend about seven years with an employer whereas Gen X-ers typically spend around five.

And it sounds like millennials prefer to work at shops with less than 100 colleagues since 47 percent of this population is employed by small companies.
