LABOUR turnover rates in Lancashire are among the highest in the UK.
A new survey shows that despite an increase in earnings, executives in the county and across the North West have become frustrated by company pay structures and a lack of job satisfaction and have headed for pastures new.
The 2006 National Management Salary Survey, published by the Chartered Management Institute and Remuneration Economics, reveals a labour turnover rate of 9.6 per cent in the North West.
This is compared to 7 per cent for Northern Ireland and 4.6 per cent in Scotland.
Jo Causon, director, marketing and corporate affairs at the Chartered Management Institute, said: "The reported increase in resignations is a matter for concern."
