Average job tenure is a commonly referenced resume and career analytics metric, giving a quick sense of career stability patterns across a work history.
Worked example
For 20 total years worked across 5 different jobs:
Average Tenure = 20 / 5 = 4.0 years (48.0 months) per job
This result matches published US Bureau of Labor Statistics median employee tenure figures (around 4 years in recent data) closely - though actual typical tenure varies considerably by industry, age group, and generation, with career mobility patterns shifting meaningfully over time.
