With further integration of social media in everyday aspects of life, survey results from Tomorrow's Workforce show that one in five job-seekers would turn down a job if the employer banned access to social media. That's not to say that everybody wants to use social media outlets all the time, with only 13.3 percent acknowledging they log on daily, but employees don't like the restrictions. Because of this, employers are also working to incorporate more access to social media outlets with one-third allowing full access.

In high school there were blocks everywhere when you tried to access anything on the internet. Then I would spend night and day figuring out a way around it, IT would put up another block, and the circle of life would continue, creating the biggest waste of time you could possibly have. I'm an adult, I expect my employer to treat me like one. If you think that I don't deserve to access everything on the internet, I think you should find somebody else who likes your totalitarian view on internet browsing, you Nazi. If you think I don't deserve full access to the internet then I'll build my own company, with blackjack, and hookers.

TL;DR One in five job-seekers will turn down a job if the employer bans social media.
