According to a July report from Arlington, Virginia-based Eagle Hill Consulting, the majority of employees plan to stay in their current position for at least the next six months, with Gen Z employees reporting the highest intent to remain where they are.

Further, the data found that the market opportunity indicator—a measure of employees’ perception of the outside job market—has dropped to its lowest level since the report’s inception.

The growing pessimism around employment opportunities isn’t unfounded. A recent report from global outplacement and coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that through the end of July, U.S.-based employers had announced more than 800,000 job eliminations in 2025—the highest number of jobs lost in the same period since the global pandemic in 2020.

Meanwhile, job growth has turned sluggish: Per a July report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. economy created just 73,000 jobs in July, down from the 111,000 monthly average of earlier this year."
