The 5 Types of Jobs That People Quit the Most
5. Trades, transportation, and utilities
Most
jobs in this field are those in which workers use their hands. These
workers work on automobiles, HVAC systems, with clothing, or in plants.
This includes transportation workers like truckers and freight haulers,
and even taxi drivers.
On average, workers in this industry are paid hourly wages of $21.45, and they work an average of 34.7 hours per week, according to BLS data.
Many of these jobs involve skilled labor, though, so workers who quit
may do so because they end up finding better opportunities.
4. Arts, entertainment, and recreation jobs
From
actors to musicians to recreation attendants, there are a variety of
workers who make up the arts and entertainment scene. These workers are
paid $20.58 per hour on average, and they work an average of 25.4 hours
per week, according to BLS estimates. This industry is known for being a challenging one, and a stable career is hard to maintain.
3. Retail trade jobs
Making average hourly wages of $17.04 and working an average
of 31.5 hours per week, retail trade jobs like store clerks, retail
store managers, and customer service representatives can be equally good
or bad. It really depends on the company and how much it values its
employees as assets.
2. Leisure and hospitality jobs
These workers — travel agents, concierges, some hotel and resort workers, etc. — earn average hourly wages of $14.08, and they work an average
of 26.3 hours per week. This is an industry that is heavily impacted by
the economy, and it also has a high number of younger employees who may
seek other opportunities as they further their education and career
experience.
1. Food services and accommodation
We’re
all familiar with the stereotypical disgruntled fast-food worker or
waitress who up and quits because he or she is tired of being treated
poorly by management and rude customers alike.
Well, food service-type jobs were the most-quit types of jobs as of late 2014. These workers earn average hourly wages of $13.21, and they work 26.5 hours per week on average.
