Finding and keeping good women

Monster, the online job site, asked job seekers why they left a job or accepted or declined a new position, and found that the reasons varied based on age, gender, and ethnicity.

41% of women, compared with 26% of men, said inflexible work hours would cause them to turn down a job.

80% of African-Americans and 77% of Hispanics said upward mobility was "important" compared with 63% of Caucasians.

Older workers placed more value on competitive health insurance and retirement plans.
