Spring exodus of employees, new survey shows

BEIJING - A new survey shows more than 50 percent of employees polled are planning to change their jobs this spring.

The survey, entitled "2010 Spring Job-hopping Trend", was conducted by Zhaopin.com, one of the largest human resources service providers in China. It predicted a job-hopping spree as the first "golden March and silver April" after the financial crisis began to recede.

Among more than 7,000 employees polled, 55.6 percent said they were planning to change jobs and 10.5 percent have just begun new employment. The news will present a headache to employers forced to find new staff after a mass exodus.
