This time of year, many people assume the motto, "New year, new job."

In fact, a fifth (22%) of the 3,411 employees surveyed by CareerBuilder said their top resolution for 2017 is to leave their current job and find a new one.

Among younger workers, the number is even higher. About 35% of those between the ages of 18 and 34 expect to have a new job by the end of 2017.

The CareerBuilder survey, conducted online by Harris Poll, reveals the top five New Year's resolutions among workers this year, aside from landing a new job. Here they are, along with some useful links to articles that can help you achieve these goals:

Almost half (49%) of respondents plan to put more of their paycheck into savings this year.

Be less stressed

About a third (38%) want to decrease their stress levels in 2017.
