Americans quit their jobs at a record-high pace in August, with almost 3% handing in their resignations, the government reported on Tuesday. The number of quits increased in August to 4.3 million, which is 242,000 more than in July. The quits rate increased to a new high of 2.9%.
The Labor Department said the jump in quits is the highest on records dating back to December 2000, and up from 4 million in July. Hiring also slowed in August, the report showed, and the number of open jobs fell to 10.4 million, from a record high of 11.1 million the previous month.
When workers quit, it is typically seen as a good sign for the job market, because people typically leave jobs when they already have another position or are confident they can find a new one. The large increase in August likely reflects the fact that, with employers desperate for workers and raising wages, many workers feel they can get better pay elsewhere.

While I totally get the phenomenon of young Chinese protesting by going totally passive I am too old to follow that path because I know too much about the the hard won freedoms that American patriots fought for.
I have already decided for myself that under the new regime that there is no future for me that even remotely resembles my past because of my beliefs. I am refusing the poisonous experimental because of my religious beliefs and if I am terminated for asserting my rights as an American that I will become a full time political activist.
I am going to steal a trick from the leftists and go on the dole and use it to allow me the freedom to become a political insurgent. Sending my communist ex-wife half my take home pay, supporting two residences and three children has taught me to live lean even with a 6-figure salary. ow that my daughter are all adults I have decided that living on the fed-communist dole and working for cash will improve my lifestyle and shaft the communists. I plan take whatever they give me and I give absolutely f*cking nothing in return while I work to defeat them. I plan on only doing four things; eat, 5hit, sleep, and protest.
I wish you God Speed! No better way to “retire”!

He said the reason was, new hires were getting bonuses and higher pay, while those who have been loyal, working through the covid mess get nothing.
I'd quit too.
Excellence in Posting Award for you!
I get sooo tired of the hand-wringing BS around here. You represent true, useful FReeperdom.
Thanks.
Maybe they just don’t want the vaccine.
Can’t blame them.
Well..if you were in CA, you could juss simply grab whatever you needed and walk right out the door.
A person can swipe quite a bit of lumber for 900 bucks for your DIY project.
Although I did watch both the "Hunger Games" series (all 4 movies) and "Red Dawn" (2012) in the past week. Kind of trying to decide which district I'll be in, a tribute, or a Wolverine. Hard to say where I'll be this time next year.
I thought the exact same thing. The press has become intolerable with their BS.
How does a single male with no minor children get on the commie dole? Unemployment is temporary and only if the person doesn’t quit or get fired for fault. I’m curious how does a single male of working age not eligible for retirement get access to the gravy train. It’s a solid plan to starve the beast while overloading it but places like Texas make it nearly impossible for a single male to get govt welfare.
Excellent list. Very interesting...
Impressive list...
** refuse to work and pay any income tax while there is a usurper in the as president. **
hey now....I’m on SS and I need that monthly check...
Tell me about it. I work in a hospital and have to wear one of the damn things for eight hours.
I love the job I have but myself and the nursing staff and every person in every department is beyond fed up with having to wear masks.
If a person's retirement accounts are loaded, that person can use rule 72(t) to withdraw funds without penalty if they follow the rules. They can also go on Obamacare and get subsidies if their income is under 400% of the FPL.
The US Government, at this time could be invaded by China or Russia and I would view them as liberators.

Russia yes. China a big NO.
Russia treats its citizens with respect.
China has the PAP which regularly beats people in the streets and some times to death. Unlike the US, the PAP never suffers any repercussions - people passing by know to ignore the scene, lest they find themselves in the PAP’s sights.
Following China’s trend: Lying Flat

Lying Flat Movement has been crushed by the PAP. Lie flat and get beaten to death.
What is the end game?
—
Dictatorship.

Shave? Shower?
Too true. I can't believe the vacancies and missing expertise.
