One in five health care workers will leave their job this year, according to a CareerBuilder.com survey. Some other interesting statistics from the survey are as follows:
In regards to health care workers in 2006,
17% were dissatisfied with their jobs
57% said better pay and/or career advancement are the main reasons for leaving
36% were dissatisfied with their pay
26% did not receive a raise
71% did not earn a bonus
23% felt they deserved a promotion and did not receive one
