As of January 2024, 10.9 percent of male wage and salary workers had been with their current employer for 20 years or more. This can be compared to the 9.2 percent of female workers that were with their employers for the same amount of time. Employee tenure is a measure of how long wage and salary workers have been with their current employer. Data on employee tenure can be used as a gauge of employment security, where an increase in tenure means improving security, and a decrease in tenure shows deteriorating security.
