Americans have quit at near-record rates for 9 months, and employers don't want to fire anyone — showing just how much worker power has grown
In December 2021, 4.3 million workers left, according to the latestfrom the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's 2.9% of the workforce. Previously, in November, a record 4.5 million workers left — following 4.2 million workers hanging up their hats in October. December's numbers mark the latest month of elevated quits since they first began soaring in April 2021.
All told, it shows just how desperate employers were to staff up, even amidst the beginning of the Omicron wave. Workers still left en masse, and, while hires dipped a bit, they still remained robust. That meant that quitting workers weren't just sitting on the sidelines, but job switching instead.
