According to the study, 49% of the population changed jobs due to inadequate pay

In a study carried out a year ago, 55% of respondents stated that they change their workplace due to inadequate pay, which shows that pay has apparently become a less important factor when deciding whether to continue or terminate employment, and there is also a tendency among employees that other factors, e.g. lack of satisfaction at the workplace becomes a more important criterion.

When asked what were the reasons for changing the workplace, the majority – 57%, previously 59% – of the residents of Pieriga most convincingly note inadequate pay. This is the most important argument for at least half – 52%, previously 57% – of people in Zemgale, followed by almost every second – 47%, previously 56% – residents of Riga and Kurzeme – 48%, previously 56%. A slightly smaller proportion emphasizes the specific reason in Latgale – 42%, previously 48% -, while the number of young people dissatisfied with the salary who left their jobs for this reason has significantly increased in Vidzeme, as indicated by more than half – 54%, previously 45% of respondents .

Changes can also be seen in other answers about changing workplaces, for example, the data of a study conducted a year ago show that a third, or 35%, left their jobs due to a lack of growth, while this year, only 28% of respondents cite this as the reason.
