Thinking about changing jobs? You’re in good company. According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans are staying in the same job for shorter periods of time than in the past.

The length of time you’ve worked for your current employer is called your job tenure. In 2014, the median job tenure – across all age groups, occupations and industries – was 4.6 years. In 2024, it dropped to 3.9 years. In fact, job tenure is now the shortest it has been in over 20 years.

The ensemble includes a black hat, American flag-inspired boots and a Willie Nelson T-shirt.

The singer released “Cowboy Carter,” inspired by musical genres she listened to while growing up in Texas, in March 2025. It won Grammy Awards for album of the year and best country album and was nominated in nine additional categories. She is currently on tour, which is scheduled to run through late July.

The figure, which will be seen in the attraction’s Music Room, is outfitted in a red, white and blue suede jacket with fringe over the vintage Willie Nelson T-shirt plus crystallized denim shorts, a silver cowboy belt buckle and a floor-length do-rag beneath the cowboy hat. Other performers represented in the Icon Park attraction have included Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Dua Lipa, Rihanna and Harry Styles. read more
