Good time for a career change

If you're thinking of looking for a better paying job, or one closer to home, now is a good time to make that move. .

Some 4.4 million people quit jobs in September — about 3 percent of the workforce, according to new data recently released from the Labor Department. Those numbers are up from the previous record, set in April, of about 4 million people quitting, reflecting how the pandemic has continued to jolt workers’ mind-set about their jobs and their lives.

Contrary to right wing lies about people being "too lazy to work" or "sitting around on welfare or unemployment" This phenomenon is being driven mostly by workers who are less willing to endure inconvenient hours and poor compensation, who are quitting instead to find better job opportunities, and at better pay, due to the abundance of available jobs. In almost every sector tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers are quitting at or near the highest levels on record, going back to when tracking began in 2001.

LOL

I’m too lazy to work.
Seriously. I should get paid just for being pretty.

However, I seem to be the only one who agrees. Bastards.

People need better paying jobs because of inflation. The higher wages are not keeping up with inflation. Even with the higher wages we have been seeing the buying power of that higher has still dropped.

People are getting screwed by inflation. It is a tax that is partly hidden by shrinkflation as some call it. Here is the truth. Wages are not increasing enough. People are leaving their jobs in an attempt to stop getting screwed.

Work is for suckers.

My My, you are a delicate one, aren't you? American's are sitting on more cash savings and have more job opportunities than at anytime in 240 years.

It is REALLY good you have no actual political power but instead are just another anti American TROLL.

You DELIBERATELY ignore the pandemic as a cause of job loss.

You really are a worthless POS.
