Reflecting the realities of the current job market, only 10% of the respondents to our 2009 Salary Survey said they would be actively seeking a new position this year. About 60% said they would follow up if they heard about an interesting opportunity or were approached with an offer, while the remaining 30% couldn’t envision changing jobs in the foreseeable future.
According to our survey results, the chances of getting hired are best at companies that have less than $50 million in annual revenue; are in the government/military contractor, R&D, avionics/marine, or industrial controls industries; or are located in Texas, Massachusetts, or New York—or just about anywhere on the West Coast.
