CHICAGO, IL -- According to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey, "Help Wanted" signs could become "a bigger part of window signage" for retailers in 2006.

The survey, "Job Forecast 2006," conducted Nov. 15 to Dec. 6, 2005, found that 35 percent of retail workers plan to find a new job this year, citing pay, workload and other career development factors as reasons for seeking new places of employment.

Meanwhile, retail workers placed compensation at the top on the list of concerns, according to a press release, as more than half of retail employees said they did not receive a raise last year and 84 percent did not get a bonus. Additionally, the amount of retail workers who are "dissatisfied with their pay" increased to 60 percent, which is up from 54 percent a year ago.

Other concerns retail workers cited include:  

• Increases in their workload and the stress it has created at home
• Concerns regarding career advancement opportunities and proper training
• Being overlooked for promotions
• General unhappiness with the career advancement opportunities offered to them
• Inadequate training and professional development provided by employers

"CareerBuilder.com sees more than 2.5 million job searches in retail every month," said Diane Christopher, retail employment expert at CareerBuilder.com, noting that statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate retail salespeople will experience "the largest job growth of any occupation from 2004-2014."
