A study conducted by the European Central Bank (ECB) shows that only 13% of employed Europeans are actively looking for another job. In contrast, this percentage rises to 19% among workers in the United States.

The report suggests that the factors driving this job search differ: in the United States, the possibility of obtaining a higher salary is a key motivator, while in Europe, the fear of layoffs is the main driving force.
