Seventy-five percent of U.S. workers report feeling increased job security while 54 percent anticipate a turnaround in the job market this year, according to a recent study by Randstad, a human resources and staffing company.

In fact, 58 percent of respondents do not think they could find a job they would immediately accept, but 45 percent of respondents intend to look at new job options when the market improves.
