K&H: the majority of young people love their jobs

Both favorable and more nuanced signs are visible among young people in terms of job stability, job search, and esteem, according to the K&H Youth Index, which examined the labor market situation of young people aged 19-29 with jobs in the third quarter.

Are they valued?

50 percent of young people between the ages of 19 and 29 feel their jobs are stable, according to a survey conducted by K&H Bank in the third quarter of 2025. 13 percent of those surveyed do not feel their employment is really stable and 5 percent see their future at their current company as very uncertain.

The proportion of those who believe that they are particularly or fairly appreciated at work has developed in line with the long-term average. The 43 percent figure roughly corresponds to the previous results of the 13-year-old research. One sixth of young people, exactly 16 percent, feel that they are not really or not at all appreciated at work.

20 percent of those in this age group believe that they would easily find a new job if they lost their current one.

Abroad?

Almost half of the survey respondents, 49 percent, like their job. A third, a little over 34 percent, view what they do at work in this respect indifferently, and roughly 8 percent are dissatisfied with their job to a greater or lesser extent.

The 19-29 age group is sharply divided into two groups in terms of whether or not they plan to work abroad. 52 percent of those aged 19 to 25 are considering starting their active career outside of Hungary, while only 17 percent of those aged 26 to 29 are. The average is 37 percent.

Overall, the majority of young people like their jobs, but gaining experience abroad remains an attractive alternative.
