Job-Hoppers Actually Make Less Money Than Those Who Stay

Gen Y's "lack of loyalty" is a problem for employers, but it also presents a money issue for job hoppers as well. 

Tim Devaney and Tom Stein write in ReadWriteWeb that job hoppers actually make less money than those who stay at a company longer, according to research conducted by Kathryn Shaw, a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

They are also more productive and creative than those who leave often.
