Employees today stay on the job for shorter amounts of time than they did in the past. According to A. Doyle from thebalancecareers.com, “The median number of years that ‘wage and salary’ workers have worked for their current employer is currently 4.6 years. This longevity varies by age and occupation, for example, the median tenure for employees age 25 to 34 is 3.2 years. Interestingly, the median tenure for employees age 65 and over is 10.3 years.” Companies hiring people who require training are more likely to be disturbed by this trend than other companies.
