As the workforce evolves and ages, employees have changing needs and priorities. This is reflected in a new study by Qualtrics examining the most common jobs across different age groups. Their findings show us how experience, pay, and degree of stress and difficulty can affect how long people stay in jobs and when they might transition in and out of these careers.
Here are some key findings from the data:
- The most common occupation for those aged 16 to 24 is a cashier.
- The most common occupation for those aged 25 to 34 is a registered nurse.
- The most common occupation for those aged 35 to 54 is an elementary or middle school teacher.
- The most common occupations for those aged 55 to 64 are sales workers and truck drivers.
- The most common occupation for those over 65 years old is a farmer, rancher, or agricultural manager.
- The most common occupation for people of any age is a customer service representative.
