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.

@mchill saidPeople 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.
@mchill saidI have been saying this since the day Biden started the spiral. That, there are so many jobs, and that you need to get off the sofa now before the others, and get the best jobs.

Laudits to McHill, as No One Listens to ME!!!!!

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. After a decade of flat prices, a few snowflakes of inflation fall, and you just go all to pieces. Do you want your titty bottle now? 😏

@Metal-Brain
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.

@sonhouse saidBut the job loss was because of the lock downs, not the virus.

You and the rest of democrats said asymptomatic carriers were a threat to us all and that is why we had to lock down. Now that we know vaccinated people are asymptomatic carriers you and the rest of democrats say asymptomatic carriers are NOT a threat to us all.
You and the rest of democrats cannot keep your science straight. You are contradicting yourselves. Where is the science that says asymptomatic carriers stopped being a threat to us all as soon as you found out you are a potential asymptomatic carrier of the virus?
