The labour market in Nigeria is highly competitive, with high levels of unemployment and thousands of graduates entering the market from institutions across the country. There is a rush for the limited opportunities available in hiring institutions and organisations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While many people continue to pursue white-collar or government jobs because of the perceived job security, others have moved into the private sector, started businesses or taken up work with private individuals. At the centre of it all is one common goal: everyone is searching for a job, something to hold on to, earn a living and meet their basic needs.<\/p>\n

According to Punch, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) recorded more than one million applications. This highlights the intense competition among job seekers for the limited positions available.<\/p>\n

However, getting a job does not always mean that a person has found a sustainable source of income. Over time, many people switch jobs or resign because of issues surrounding pay and salary. It is common to hear statements such as, \u201cI would rather stay at home than continue with that job.\u201d These complaints may be linked to poor remuneration, working conditions or the way employees are treated.<\/p>\n

Overall, salary remains one of the major reasons people change jobs. They are searching for a well-paying job<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
