That is strikingly much compared to generation x or the baby boomers who often dedicate themselves to one job for a longer period. Millennials are often job hoppers, and this idea can provoke a certain fear among employers. Yet there is something positive in it.

Because millennials are so eager to learn and proactive in finding a job, they are the perfect candidates for pools where recruiters can choose from.

Millennials are not so very unfaithful employees. On the other hand, they are very aware of the career path they want to follow and they do. If you can offer the career opportunity they want for a millennial, they can indeed be the greatest asset for your workplace.
