Since firing the boss isn't exactly an option, why not just quit and get a new job? That's one idea gaining steam, according to a Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) HR Week article.

Finding new employment this year is a top priority for "one in four U.S. workers ... that percentage rises dramatically for those who are employed hourly, are 18-34 years old or are Hispanic," the article states. These findings are from a survey by SnagAJob.com and IPSOS Public Affairs. About 26 percent of workers surveyed confirmed that they will be job seeking this year.

Factors influencing the jobseekers' decisions include the problems with the dwindling economy, higher monthly housing payments and energy prices, and the lack of opportunities for advancement in their current job.
