No one gets much joy from putting together resumes and cover letters for hiring managers you’ll likely never hear back from — but it looks like many professionals will be doing just that in 2025.
According to job search platform Monster, 93% of workers are looking or planning to look for a new job this year. Meanwhile, 67% of employers predict they will continue hiring and filling vacant roles, and just 1% anticipate layoffs. The job market is set to see more movement from talent than it has in the last few years, with demands for higher wages, return-to-office mandates and frustration over current workplace culture motivating people to seek employment elsewhere, explains Vicki Salemi, career expert at Monster.
