Defining Job Hopping

Job hopping is increasingly viewed differently across generations, with variations in how long employees stay at jobs before moving on. Generally, job hopping could be defined as changing jobs every year to 18 months, but perceptions vary significantly depending on the hiring manager's background and industry. Many workers now identify as job hoppers, with statistics indicating that 83% of individuals consider their job-changing habits to fit this label. Notably, millennials average 2.75 years in a job, and 21% changed jobs last year, which highlights the generational differences in attitudes towards job stability.
