The bar chart presents data on the average number of years people aged 25-34 and 35-45 stayed in the same job in both Europe and the USA during the years 1985 and 2015.
It is evident that employees in the USA had consistently shorter employment durations than their European counterparts across both age groups and years. Moreover, job tenure was collectively higher in 1985 than in 2015, reflecting a decline over time.
In Europe, those aged 35-45, with an average of nearly seven years in 1985, had the longest tenure of all categories. However, by 2015, this duration had been reduced to six years. Meanwhile, younger employees belonging to the 25-34 age bracket held their jobs for around five years in 1985, after which this figure experienced a fall of one year three decades later.
A similar downward trend was observed in the USA. In 1985, workers aged 35-45 stayed in the same role for approximately six years; by 2015, this had dropped to five years. Additionally, the shortest tenure across all sectors was recorded in 2015 among 25-34-year-olds, who remained in a single position for only three years on average.
