1upHealth in the News – Job Switchers Are Earning a Lot More Than Those Who Stay

This article was originally published by the Wall Street Journal on July 25, 2022.

1upHealth’s Emily Larsen was recently quoted in a Wall Street Journal article examining the competitive nature of pay incentives amid employees switching jobs for higher earnings.

“At companies hiring right now, there is almost a tacit acknowledgment that bringing in outside workers will now mean even bigger raises than in the past, say hiring managers. Some have tried other incentives, especially around remote work, but the question of pay is paramount. 

And firms just have to move quicker, says Emily Larsen, director of human resources at 1upHealth, a health software company based in Boston. ‘There are definitely places that are going to pay those really high numbers,’ she said.

For those who switch jobs to earn more, there are considerable risks. 

In recession years—most notably in the aftermath of the 2008 recession—job stayers posted greater wage growth than job switchers, as employers cut positions and those on the job hunt had far fewer opportunities.”
