Staying Put!

A recent YouGov survey has shown that the vast majority (75%) of employees have no intention of moving jobs during the current recession, even though about a third would move given the opportunity. Perhaps more interesting is that a significant proportion (25%) want to move to different sectors or completely change their career direction.

Not so lucky are those aged 50+ as another report shows that the proportion of 50+ being made redundant (as a proportion of the total volume of redundancies) has increased to over 60% from just over 30%. Is this ageist or just unlucky?
