America's "Great Resignation" is continuing as the so-called "quits" rate — the percentage of workers who handed in their notice — rose to a record 3%, reflecting that 4.4 million people quit their jobs in September, the government said on Friday.
The number of unfilled jobs remained at 10.4 million in October, bucking expectations that job openings would decline slightly during the month. But the quits rate signals that Americans are switching jobs for better pay, quitting to start their own businesses or continuing to struggle with child care and school schedules as the pandemic lingers.
The decision by millions of Americans to leave their jobs shows the "increasing confidence workers have in securing better-paid jobs elsewhere," Michael Pearce, senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics, said in report.
The Great Resignation, as the trend has come to be called, signals shifting priorities for the nation's workers, who increasingly are looking for options such as flexible schedules or remote work. At the same time, employers are dangling higher pay and signing bonuses as a way to recruit new workers, providing attractive incentives at a time when higher inflation is eating away at buying power.

The Narrative.
Day of reckoning is fast approaching, in more ways than one.
Maybe some Freepers who left their jobs can speak to this and share their testimonies?
What do you mean by day of reckoning?
Good job President Retard - you’ve managed to screw over a few million more Americans with your brilliant policies 🤪
Then we would have a boom of new businesses starting which we don't because that would be headlines all around.
I’m retiring 7 Dec. Had enough of this.
Imagine how negative the narrative would have been under Trump.
Repeat 4.4 million times in September alone
Bingo! That would have been the lead story all week long.
Atlas is shrugging.
Vaccine mandates which treat all employees like cattle and anti white hate by senior executives of large corporations are two factors.
As more people quit those who remain are overworked and burned out, and if they can find an exit they will take it.
For the DEMs.
For the decades of uncontrolled spending.
Etc.
etc.
etc.
etc.
Not even a year into this lame ass #notmypresident and the country swirling as fast as it can down the proverbial toilet to nowhere.
The workplace has become a toxic, dysfunctional mess. Its no wonder people are leaving.
How many are quitting because their company was going to force them to vax?
All going according to the leftist plan..get EVERYONE on public assistance, relying ONLY on the Govt, reshape America into their commie vision
Since they have detected that a lot of those leaving their jobs are starting their own businesses, could it be that they will avoid having as many as 100 employees?
In other words, how many people left their jobs to avoid employer vaccination mandates? I know that if my employer demands a vaccination, then I am going to retire. Otherwise, I work remotely and staying away from the office is just fine with me.
As are mask mandates. I know several people, including a teacher, who refuse to work because they don't want to wear a mask all day.
I left my job at peak Covid last December for another job that was a promotion and more pay.
Yea, I’m a greedy SOB.
Which is why it's a 'narrative'. They don't mention how many people may have quit because they were required to take the stab.
