The third paragraph contradicts the first:
Considering that U-6 (The unemployment calculation that includes those who are "underutilized" and not happy) has been hovering around 15% for years now, that nearly half of all workers are looking for a better deal is not any surprise.

The old social "contract", where one can expect to work at the same company, advance up the ladder and retire, has broken. The current work force will make 3 to 7 job changes in their lifetime. It is difficult to give loyalty to a company that will fire you without warning while expecting a two week notice to quit. It also used to be common for companies to train their employees to do their jobs, now the companies all expect the employees to be trained enough or train themselves to stay with the company.
It makes sense to job hop to make a career work. This means working for the experience and using that gained experience to get more pay and more experience. The downside of job hopping is that employers are reluctant to hire someone who has had too many jobs in a short time.

Many people improve by changing jobs. The company may not be loyal to you, as almost everyone is replaceable. Do your best job, gain experience, and if you can't advance any more where you are, you may want to move on.
