Capricorns named UK’s most ambitious workers and Pisces most loyal
Capricorns are the most ambitious workers in the UK and Pisces are the most loyal according to new research carried out by leading jobs site www.reed.co.uk. The study, which examined how the star signs of more than one million workers impacted on salary expectations and job loyalty, has found that Capricorns, who are known for a drive to succeed, out-rank the other 11 star signs with an average minimum salary expectation of around £22,400.
Male Capricorns are particularly ambitious, aiming to earn £24,000, and workers who are Sagittarius have been shown to be the least ambitious star sign, expecting a minimum salary of less than £22,200 for their next role.
When it comes to job loyalty, Pisces workers come out on top, sticking with each job for two and a half years, reflecting the star sign’s characteristic selflessness and desire to help others. With Scorpios known for their curiosity, it is perhaps not surprising they like to change jobs quickest of all, with women in this group moving on after just two years.
Michael Cheary at reed.co.uk, said: "It’s interesting to see Capricorns come out top for ambition, with this sign known for its keen focus on goals – an important personality trait for successful jobseekers and employees looking to make their mark. Employers are always looking for loyal workers and perhaps some of them will be keeping a closer eye out for Pisces, who topped the poll."
