Young workers today can be optimistic about their career prospects as total US job openings reached a record in 12/2015. The number of people hired that month was also the highest since 11/2006.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, more than 3 million Americans quit their jobs in 12/2015, the highest level since 2006.
The Quit Rate, Measuring Those Leaving Their Current Jobs Relative to Those Employed, Has Reached Its Highest Level in 7 Years.
Many experts see this as a sign of economic improvement, as American workers are confident they can find another job if they quit.
However, other experts believe today's young workers differ from earlier generations because they do not want to spend their whole lives doing one job.
Pew Research Center figures show that people aged 18-34 accounted for the largest share of the United States workforce in 2015. Moreover, the proportion of young workers entering the labor market will continue to rise as new graduates and migrants from many countries arrive in the United States.
A recent Deloitte survey across 29 countries found that most young workers born after 1982 want to leave their current jobs in the near future. Specifically, 66% of respondents want a new job within the next 5 years, 44% say they will leave within 2 years, and 25% say they will start a new job this year.

In other words, Bloomberg believes this is a good time for American workers who want to quit their jobs.
