Ridgewood NJ, the September jobs report came in well below expectation with payrolls only increasing by only 194,000 . Currently close to three-quarters of workers are actively thinking about quitting their job, according to a survey by job search site Joblist. The job site just released its third quarter report about the state of the US labor market, surveying over 26,000 respondents about things like how tough they feel the job market is, whether they have already quit, and their reasons behind quitting their jobs. One survey in particular included asking about 3,000 respondents if they’re actively thinking about leaving their job.
The Joblist survey found that 73% of 2,099 respondents who answered this question on their employment plans are considering quitting. More than a quarter of these Americans said they would feel comfortable quitting their job without a new one lined up.
“The pandemic created a sudden, wide-scale opportunity for workers in all industries to take a step back from their daily work, reevaluate their employment situation, and consider other career options moving forward,” Kevin Harrington, CEO of Joblist, said in an email. “A significant percentage are clearly taking advantage. Although the pandemic initiated this reckoning, the Great Resignation appears to be a trend that is here to stay.”
Do you know it’s funny when economy wasn’t doing that well workers were loyal to their place of business where they were working. And the company owners bosses etc. treated workers like shit. Now that people are leaving their jobs changing careers and making more money. It’s very interesting there’s no more loyalty going either way. Everyone’s just a number, everyone’s replaceable
