The overall unemployment figures continue to diverge with executive turnover figures compiled by Liberum. Liberum has just completed analyzing third quarter figures for executive turnover. The key totals showed a continuing decline in executive turnover for CEOs, CFOs and overall C-level management as compared with the same time frames in 2008 and 2007 (view graphs below).

  • CEO turnover declined 23%, CFO turnover declined 36% and overall C-level turnover (from board of directors on down to corporate vice presidents) registered a 24% decline for the third quater of 2009 as compared with the third quarter in 2008. The decline percentages were even larger when compared with the 2007 third quarter.
