Workers a hop, skip and jump from new jobs

BEIJING - Nearly 93 percent of workers intend to switch jobs in the near future, a new survey suggests.

Chinahr.com, a human resources provider, quizzed 5,000 people on the popular sohu.com portal and found that those who have worked between one and five years at their current jobs made up 84 percent of those eyeing new pastures, while novices with less than one year's experience in their positions made up 9 percent.

Chinahr.com predicted that this month would mark the peak of job-swapping as employees sought better opportunities after receiving end-of-year bonuses before the Spring Festival.
