America\u2019s workers are clinging to their jobs at a decade-low quit rate of 2%, driven by fear rather than fulfillment, new data shows.<\/p>\n

The research from Economist Enterprise<\/strong> surveyed 2,063 full-time employed Americans ages 18 to 62 across industries, including energy, manufacturing, media, financial services and government.<\/p>\n

It found that 62% of workers now prioritize long-term job<\/a> security over seeking new opportunities.<\/p>\n

Thirty percent said they\u2019ve stopped looking for new jobs over the past five years because of security concerns \u2014 rising t0 35% in financial services and \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0445\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/a> and 34% in manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Government workers reported the lowest rate at 23%.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s workers are prioritizing job stability and a strong benefits package, signaling a shift in how workers weigh risk versus reward in today\u2019s competitive labor market,\u201d said Matt Terry, who led the research at Economist Enterprise. \u201cThis cautious approach reflects a broader trend; workers are increasingly valuing predictability over advancement, which could have lasting implications for career growth and economic mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Retirement a moving target<\/h2>\n

Workers now expect to retire<\/a> nearly four years later than they had planned.<\/p>\n

Among those anticipating working past their ideal retirement age, only 20% cite job satisfaction as the reason. Instead, rising living costs (47%) and health care expenses (41%) \u2014 the latter jumping to 50% among low-income workers \u2014 drive the delay.<\/p>\n

Lower-income workers expect to retire roughly six years later than desired. Even Gen Z, many of whom just entered the workforce full time, anticipate a five-year delay.<\/p>\n

Financial services and insurance workers face the longest expected delay at 5.1 years, followed by manufacturing at 4.5 years.<\/p>\n

Government workers report the smallest gap at 2.9 years.<\/p>\n

Raiding savings and delaying life decisions<\/h2>\n

About one-third of workers (35%) have taken hardship withdrawals or loans from \u043f\u0435\u043d\u0441\u0438\u043e\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0441\u0447\u0435\u0442\u0430<\/a>, with rates highest in financial services and insurance (44%) and manufacturing (41%) and lowest among government workers (23%).<\/p>\n

Thirty percent said they have cut back retirement savings, rising to 36% among high-income workers.<\/p>\n

Seventy-three percent have postponed buying a home or car \u2014 hitting 82% among millennials \u2014 while 43% have delayed or skipped medical care, including 51% in manufacturing and financial services.<\/p>\n

One in four workers (25%) have postponed having children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data in this report should give every employer pause. When workers feel financially insecure, they delay retirement, and that has real costs \u2013 both administrative and financial \u2014 for organizations carrying expensive, experienced employees who are ready to move on but don\u2019t believe they can afford to,\u201d said Brendan McCarthy, head of Nuveen Retirement Investing<\/strong>, which supported research in the report. <\/p>\n

\u201cEmployers have more power to change that than they might realize\u2026At a time when employees are craving stability and certainty, employers can stand out as an employer of choice by delivering a more modern approach to benefits that can help employees navigate key life milestones with more confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior housing wealth dips slightly<\/h2>\n

Separately, housing wealth among homeowners aged 62 and older declined less than 1% in the fourth quarter of 2025 to $14.62 trillion, according to the latest National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA)\/RiskSpan <\/strong>Reverse Mortgage Market Index.<\/p>\n

The 0.83% drop was driven by an approximate $100 billion decrease in home values \u2014 partially offset by a $21.8 billion rise in mortgage debt held by older homeowners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we saw a modest dip in housing wealth at the end of 2025, the overall level of home equity among older Americans remains historically strong,\u201d said Steve Irwin, president of \u041d\u0420\u041c\u041b\u0410<\/a>. \u201cFor many retirees, housing wealth continues to be a critical component of financial security and retirement planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven in a moderating market, reverse mortgages remain a valuable tool to help seniors access that equity and meet their evolving financial needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
