Last week's jobs report showed that U.S. employers added 531,000 jobs in October and the unemployment rate fell from 4.8 percent to 4.6 percent.
The Labor Department announced Friday that a record 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in September, surpassing the previous record of 4.3 million set in August, the Associated Press reported. The 4.4 million who quit account for about 3 percent of the nation's total workforce.
The Labor Department report follows last week's jobs report, which showed that U.S. employers added 531,000 jobs in October and the unemployment rate fell from 4.8 percent to 4.6 percent. The hiring boost came as impacts of the COVID-19 Delta variant, which slowed hiring efforts in August and September weakened.
The number of available jobs has topped 10 million for four consecutive months. The record before the pandemic was 7.5 million. There were more job openings in September than the 7.7 million unemployed, illustrating the difficulties so many companies have had finding workers.
