For much of the last century, a steady career often meant staying with one company for decades. But that idea started to fade in the ‘80s and ‘90s as layoffs and restructuring made long-term loyalty feel less secure. By the 2000s, job hopping became the norm and often led to better pay and benefits.

But today, something new is happening. Alongside job hopping, we’re seeing a rise in job hugging — people staying put, even when they’d rather move, because the job market feels uncertain. 

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks about shifting hiring trends, when it’s smart to switch jobs, when it’s best to stay and what it all means for our careers and workplaces.

Are you a longtimer? A job hopper? Or someone job hugging as you weigh your next move?

Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
