Ireland's young workers are very intent on changing jobs this year

Employers preparing for a "youthquake" as three-quarters of young workers in a job for the past two years want to move on

Sharon McCooey, head of LinkedIn Ireland, says Ireland is seeing a huge generational change, with young workers looking for a new type of flexibility and fulfilment from their jobs.

Confidence is at a high among workers in Ireland, with around 63% planning to change jobs this year, according to a survey hosted by LinkedIn.

Sharon McCooey, head of LinkedIn Ireland, said this renewed confidence stands in marked contrast with the uncertainty that had been dampening the optimism of workers for the past 21 months.
