97% of young adults are burned out, Cigna survey finds

Nearly half of 18- to 34-year-olds say they are looking for a new job within the next year, a survey from Cigna found. 

The survey, published Oct. 27, surveyed nearly 12,000 people in 15 countries. 

Many young adults are feeling disengaged from their work, survey results suggest. Of the respondents, 51 percent said they don't feel fully present or engaged in their work, and over half said work feels transactional. 

The survey found 97 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds say they are "burned out." 

"Business leaders must not become complacent in this new flexible workplace era. Remote work shouldn't mean less opportunity, growth or sense of belonging for younger people,"  Michelle Leung, human resources officer for Cigna's international markets, said in a news release.
