Chinese to English: 澳洲大辞职潮：去年逾100万员工换工作/Huge Wave Of Australian Resignations: Last year more than 1 million employees swapped jobs General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Economics
Translation - English According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, new statistical data shows that the predicted wave of post-pandemic job resignations has already come true with as many as 1.3 million Australians changing jobs last year. This is the highest figure since 2012 and it means that about 10% of the entire country's workforce resigned their jobs and moved to either another industry or another profession.
Experts believe that this type of trend has been brought about by low unemployment rates, a lockdown-led rethink about the important things in life and also a less patient Millennial generation.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics report on job mobility shows that a huge number of people did not move jobs due to redundancies, which actually only made up 1.5% of the cases, the lowest yearly rate since records began in 1972.
Bjorn Davis, responsible for Labour Force statistics at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, said that for the 12 months up to February 2022, 9.5% of the working population had changed employers or businesses. They were more likely to have changed to a job with more hours (36% of cases) than to a job with either the same number of hours (33%) or fewer hours (31%).
Commsec's chief economist, Craig James, points out that the 'super low' unemployment rate has encouraged people to look around for a new job, 'particularly if these are jobs with higher pay and more flexible hours'.
During COVID people have had more time to consider every possible option: retirement, starting their own business, moving to the suburbs or the countryside.
The number of new businesses continues to be at a historical high. For the period January to March, the number of Australian start-ups increased by 1.8%, reaching a record 5.8% overall, a clear indicator of the faith these ambitious entrepreneurs have in the future.
Danielle Johnson, a 36 year-old entrepreneur from Lilyfield in NSW is the CEO of Threadicated, an online personal stylist company. Last year she decided that it was 'now or never' and began working in her own business full-time. Although she liked the digital marketing side of her occupation, she felt that she had to change what had been her side job-providing clients with online fashion styling and fashion sales-into her full-time job. She is now very happy, 'I plucked up the courage and have got the rewards,' she says.
26 year-old Craig Jackson resigned from a six-figure salary position at Telstra and joined Bamboo, a newly-established crypto currency company, taking on the position of Growth Manager. Its micro-investment software invests the loose change left over from a client's shopping into bitcoin and precious metals. At the beginning of last year when he started, the company only had 2 employees but now there are about 30 staff, including part-time employees and contractors. 'I think that perhaps this is the style of the Millennials, if we don't like something then we'll just go to another area,' Jackson said.

Bio
Although I have just started translating professionally, I have been translating privately for five years now and have built up a knowledge base of Chinese characters covering all aspects of life. Having an interest in the Chinese culture has translated into a very keen desire to understand what a piece of Chinese writing is all about. If I receive an assignment to translate Chinese into English, I will fully dedicate my time to completing that task with an intent to understand the source text and suitably translate it into an easily digestible English text appropriate for the target audience.
