Survey: Irish workers among the most mobile in EU

IRISH workers are among the most mobile in the EU with a third in their current job for less than two years and about the same number planning to change jobs again.

Pensions are also in a state of flux, with employers shifting responsibility and risks for pensions to workers at a faster rate in Ireland than most other EU countries, according to a related survey.

The figures reflect the huge growth in the Irish workforce over the past few years, which have been taken up mainly by young people and immigrants.
