More than three-quarters of professionals in Asia are considering taking new jobs this year, a LinkedIn report found, indicating that employees in a region known for long office hours are increasingly unwilling to “stick out” work they don’t want to do.

Some 77% of Asia-Pacific’s workers want to move to new roles, with the shift fueled by Gen Z and Millennials, according to data released this week by the social platform typically used to promote professional backgrounds. That’s slightly higher than the global figure of 73%, the report said.
