Employer Change Survey

September 11 2010 - Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed that about one in six workers started work with a new employer/business in the year to February 2010.

10.9 million people were at work in February 2010. Of these, 2 million (18 per cent) had been at their (then) current employer/business for less than a year and 963,000 (about a half) had changed employer/business during that period. People aged 25-34 years and 35-44 years were most likely to have changed their employer/business.

Around 7.1 million employees at work in February 2010 had been with current employers for a year or more. 25 per cent of these (1.8 million employees) had experienced some change in work. Of the 1.8 million:

  • 51 per cent had changed the number of hours they usually worked
  • 43 per cent had been promoted, and
  • 10 per cent changed occupation

(Note that people in the survey could report more than one change in work).

2.2 million employees ceased ceased a job during year ending February 2010 of whom, 58 per cent had voluntarily left their jobs - compared to 70 per cent in the 2008 survey. 917,300 people lost their jobs involuntarily.
