More like quitting the low wage check out clerk job they were forced to take years ago.
And getting back into the saddle of what they did before.

Well, that means the better paying jobs are increasing and becoming more available ...
As for the low wage check out clerk job ... hmmm... who’s filling those positions?
-Or going from one low paying job to another. I doubt the retention rate is high in minimum wage jobs.
Rising wages and low unemployment used to be desirable. It was called prosperity. Now it that situation is considered a an economic crises that needs to be dealt with harshly.
Or it may suggest that one of those opportunities is suckling off the government teat once all the hassles of working are factored into the equation.
Legal immigrants?
I left a job of 19 years, went to another that paid more last year, same type of work.
Turn over is about six weeks.
There may be a different dynamic at play here.
People leaving w-2 jobs for 1099 work.
Employers offering 1099 work as a way to avoid Obamacare and people finding more flexibility as “self-employed”.
Is it just presumed that the quitters moved on to another job? Maybe, they decided work isn’t worth it. All the taxpayer goodies looks more profitable than getting a pesky job!
“Just-In-Time” Employment is the future.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor
Well there is their mistake. Listening to this group for “facts”.
It says “like crazy”. How about the are going on SSDI as crazy?
“Employers offering 1099 work as a way to avoid Obamacare and people finding more flexibility as ‘self-employed’.”
Hope they are still happy after they pay their self-employment tax and healthcare “tax”....
I did not read the article, but one question. How do they know quit vs fired?
On the other hand, at 34K a year in cash, housing, food and benefits tax free why work when sitiing home pays better.
Or they're jumping on welfare or disability.
In other news, the oldest of the Boomers started hitting retirement age in the last several years.
