September 18, 2017

TOKYO- A Japanese labor ministry survey showed Friday that 32.2 percent of people who started to work just after graduating from university in March 2014 quit their jobs within three years.

The figure was up by 0.3 percentage point from last year's survey, rising for the first time in three years.

The proportion exceeded 30 percent for the fifth straight year, an indication that many people tend to look for new jobs with better conditions on the back of the country's economic recovery. Jiji Press
