32% of Workers Say Their Next Job Will Be Better Than Current One

Younger Americans continue to feel optimistic about their future employment opportunities, but fewer workers of all ages are looking for another job.  

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Employed Adults finds that 32% say their next job will be better than their current one.  Nineteen percent (19%) disagree, while 24% plan to retire after they leave their current position.  Another 25% are not sure.  (To see survey question wording, click here.)
