On behalf of Jobvite, the polling company, inc.,

conducted a nationwide online omnibus survey

of 2,135 adults (aged 18+) of whom 1,303 were

participants in the U.S. labor force. Of those 1,303

participants, 753 were identified as high or low

mobility workers within the labor force. Participants

were screened based on their employment

situation, education level, and attitude toward future

career opportunities. Non-employed and non-job

seekers were excluded from this study.

The survey included questions on current

employment status and the use of social networks

and mobile devices to find job opportunities.

The survey was fielded December 12-19, 2013.

Respondents for this survey were selected from an

opt-in panel, and had expressed prior consent to

participate in online surveys. Data was weighted so

the demographics of this audience closely matched

the nationwide population of adults (age 18+) with

respect to gender, age and religion.

The results from this study delve into the two-tiered

labor market, comparing job seeking behavior

between high and low mobility job seekers. The

study reveals that education and skill set allow the

best candidates to be more open to new jobs and

optimistic in a fiercely competitive market.

The continual advancement of technology, in

combination with the retirement of baby boomers,

has contributed to increased demand for highly

skilled workers. This demand has resulted in a

divided labor market where highly skilled workers

experience high mobility and less skilled workers

experience low mobility within the labor force.

An improving economy signalsa tighter labor market.

Mobility in the workforce defined.

High mobility workers represent a portion of the

labor market that has the flexibility and demand to

change jobs more frequently, giving them increased

opportunities for advancement within the labor market.

Low mobility workers experience more

difficulty qualifying for and finding advanced

positions, resulting in fewer options when

job searching.

Who makes up the two-tiered labor market?

High mobility workers are college educated with the skills to meet the demands of increasingly competitive and technical fields, allowing them the flexibility to switch jobs and change locations more readily.

Low mobility workers have a high school education or less and lack the skills to compete for in-demand jobs. This funnels under-qualified workers into jobs with fewer opportunities for growth and movement within the labor market.

Let’s take a look at the defining characteristics that set these workers apart.
