Americans Quitting Jobs At Highest Rate Since 2000

Wall Street Journal: “More U.S. workers are quitting their jobs than at any time in at least two decades, signaling optimism among many professionals while also adding to the struggle companies face trying to keep up with the economic recovery.

“The wave of resignations marks a sharp turn from the darkest days of the pandemic, when workers craved job security while weathering a national health and economic crisis.”

Everyone was required to return to their offices on 6/1. So people found jobs where they could work full time remote. And so now they are looking to hire people, you guess it, full time remote.
