Separately, Robert Half reported that 55% of Gen Z workers surveyed intend to look for a new role before the end of the year, compared to less than a third a year prior.

Concurrently, the Gen Z job search trends suggest younger professionals are prioritizing earning potential and career advancement when evaluating new employment.
