Washingtonians Fear Job Loss
Washington residents fear job security
Conducted survey shows Washington State residents have concerns for job security


According to a survey conducted on behalf of Everest College, nearly one-third of Washington citizens have concerns about job security.

When asked about the high unemployment rate affecting the state and the country, 29 percent of Washington workers say they are concerned about losing their job.

Meanwhile, 36 percent of the survey respondents say they are considering returning to school.

The survey indicated that most workers are not likely to change careers even if nothing stood in their way.

At the same time, 26 percent of Washington residents indicate they would be very likely to chance careers if nothing stood in their way.

According to Wendy Cullen, Vice President of employer development for Everest College, the lack of workplace confidence is understandable considering Washington was hit hard by the failing economy.
