Over a quarter of Irish workers say the pandemic has made them rethink their career path

And 66% say they have a "new-found respect" for essential workers like health workers, teachers, journalists, couriers and childcare workers.
Over a third feel underpaid.
Breda Dooley from Matrix Recruitment, which commissioned the survey, says the current circumstances have really given people pause for thought:
"Just less than half the people surveyed, are kind of tired of the job they feel they're stuck in a rut, they're bored, they're uninspired, they're not being paid enough. And this is all come out of the pandemic, because people have had the time to think about and reflect on their job and see are they getting job satisfaction from what they're doing, and people are re-evaluating everything now."
