The chart illustrates information about the average of years individuals in two age groups (25-35 and 35-45) can stay in one job in Europe and the USA in two years, 1985 and 2005.
Overall, it is clear that the workers in Europe stayed longer in one job than those in the USA across both years and age group.
In age group 25-35, the average number of years that employees in Europe spent in a single job was about 5 years in 1985, being higher than workers in the USA by approximately 1 year. Then, by 2005, the figure slightly declined to 4 and 3 years in Europe and the USA respectively.
The average the number of years that workers aged 35-45 remained in one job was relatively higher than that in 25-35. It is evident that in 1985, this age group in Europe stayed in the same job for around 7 years, compared to 6 years for the USA. After that, both figures minimally reduced to just 6 years in Europe and 5 years in the USA in 2005.
