Yes. Not only can tenure be drastically different in various industries but for different roles as well. For instance, most people in the U.S. will not spend a significant portion of their career working as a cashier for a single company. Retail has high turnover, so the average tenure will be lower as well. But even within retail, you may find that a store manager position will have higher tenure than a cashier. Some example industries with much lower average turnover rates are insurance, banking and chemicals.
