Job Hoppers in Alaska

Job hoppers - workers who repeatedly move from employer to employer, never staying with a single one for an extended period - raise key questions about work, careers, and the intersection between what employers and employees want. There are no regularly published national numbers or even a uniform definition of the term, but a preliminary analysis of Alaska's data shows that: 1) job hopping is more common among younger age groups; and 2) the state had a smaller percentage of job hoppers in 2011 than in 2001.
