Question

Why are so many Americans quitting their jobs recently?

Answer 1

Multiple factors. A lot of states with elevated quits are states with higher-than-average c*ovid cases, but a lot of it is due to work market stress

Answer 2

The high quits numbers are a reflection of what is perhaps the most worker-friendly climate in decades, as workers have the ability to sort through near-record levels of job postings, and many employers are hungry to hire. Many employers have moved to raise wages or offer generous signing bonuses to attract employees
