?? NEW RESEARCH: The Great Side Hustle Migration - 41% of professionals have quit or considered quitting their day jobs to pursue side hustles full-time. At FlexJobs, we surveyed over 2,200 professionals to understand how economic uncertainty, RTO mandates, and inflation are reshaping career decisions. The results are eye-opening: - 77% frequently or occasionally think about job-hopping for better financial opportunities - 54% believe changing jobs (not internal promotion) is the most effective way to increase salary - Most professionals (57%) need their side gig to generate at least 75% of their current salary before making the leap - 51% define financial success as earning between $100K-$250K annually As our Career Expert Manager Toni Frana, M.S. notes: "With the career landscape rapidly changing and remote work remaining a top priority for the majority of workers, we're seeing professionals across experience levels actively seeking ways to improve their financial situation and work-life balance through highly strategic job moves, including freelancing and entrepreneurship." For Financial Literacy Month, we encourage professionals to assess risks, understand market conditions, build emergency funds, and create detailed budgets before transitioning to full-time side hustles.

?? DATA INSIGHTS: What drives employee loyalty in today's evolving workplace? As more companies implement full-time return-to-office mandates, our recent FlexJobs survey reveals important trends about what professionals truly value: 68% say remote work options would increase company loyalty 63% cite higher compensation as a loyalty driver Remote work outranks salary and benefits (37% vs. 25%) as the leading factor when considering new roles. FlexJobs Career Expert Toni Frana, M.S. provides important context: "For some people, a $10,000 raise might be enough for them to stay where they are or to accept a job…even though it might not have the exact remote work schedule they were looking for." When organizations implement hybrid policies that treat employees differently, Frana emphasizes the importance of equity: "It's important that there is a consistent and conscious effort to make sure that employment and development opportunities, promotion opportunities are the same across the workforce." This research reinforces a critical reality for employers: workforce preferences are not monolithic, and strategically balancing flexibility with appropriate compensation remains key to attracting and retaining top talent.
