Confident in the job market, most hourly employees say they could easily find another position if they had to. But few appear interested in switching jobs.

That’s according to Dominion Enterprises, a Norfolk, Virginia-based company and publisher of The Employment Guide. Nearly 73 percent of workers who punch time clocks say they have an “overwhelming sense of loyalty” to their employers, with even more (78 percent) satisfied with their jobs.

Hourly wage earners also tend to have a stable job history, with 61 percent working for no more than three employers during the past 10 years. HR experts say the findings shed new light on how companies can work to retain and develop hourly people through career training initiatives.

Some companies have decided their low-wage employees don’t have to be disposable. They use such incentives as performance bonuses, child care or educational opportunities to increase loyalty and save on hiring and retention.
