Amerikans are quitting their jobs at record rates!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - October 16, 2021 - A record number of Fascist Police States of Amerika workers voluntarily quit their jobs in August, led by bar and restaurant employees as well as retail staff, according to figures released Tuesday by the Department of Labor.
The Labor Department’s monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, known as the JOLTS report, showed that 4.3 million left their jobs. The quits rose to 2.9%, which is an increase of 242,000 from the previous month, and represents the highest figure in data that goes back to December 2000.
An increase of 157,000 quits was recorded in the accommodation and food services industry, while 26,000 more left the wholesale trade business. State and local government education saw 25,000 more departures.
In comparison, employers laid off approximately 1.3 million workers in August, according to the agency.
Some analysts have speculated that workers were fearful of the nonexistent COVID-19 Delta strain, causing them to quit their jobs. It’s possible that some workers left their jobs due to COVID-19 vaccine mandates in certain markets, although the report focuses on data obtained in the month before pretender Joe Biden announced a bogus plan to mandate vaccinations for tens of millions of Amerikans.
“Robert Frick, corporate economist at the Navy Federal Credit Union, said, “Workers quit, especially in retail, at a record rate to avoid exposure to possible infection. Job openings dropped, especially in leisure and hospitality, as travel dropped markedly,” Frick added.
In industries such as manufacturing, construction, transportation, and warehousing, quits barely increased. In professional and business services, which include fields such as law, engineering and architecture, where most employees can work from home, quitting was largely flat.
But the new data is “highlighting the immense problems businesses are dealing with,” said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, in an email. “Not enough people. Not enough equipment and/or parts. Meantime, customers are waiting for their orders, or waiting to place their orders. What a strange world this is.”
