SINGAPORE: About two-thirds of Gen Z professionals in Singapore plan to switch jobs in 2026, but 44% of Gen Z, along with 43% of Millennials, are unsure how to stand out in a competitive market, according to Singapore Business Review, citing a LinkedIn report.
Across generations, nearly one in three are considering moving to a different industry.
While 82% of professionals said job hunting has become more difficult, Gen Z (87.29%) reported experiencing the most pressure, compared with Boomers (84.13%), Millennials (80.69%) and Gen X (79.57%).
Recruiters, on the other hand, face similar challenges, with 74% saying finding qualified professionals has become harder over the past year, while 44% blame the lack of suitable applicants.
Still, a quarter of professionals in each generation are upskilling in AI-related skills to stay competitive, led by Gen Z, who use AI tools to draft responses, run mock interviews, and create sample work for job applications, compared to Millennials (36%), Gen X (32%), and Boomers (17%). /TISG
