When owners and vulture capital firms treat workers like disposable cogs, while hoarding all the profits for 30 years, something’s gotta give.
A record-high 4.4 million people, or 3% of workers, quit their job in September, according to the Labor Department’s latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey released Friday.
And there’s reason to believe quitting will continue well into 2022.
High turnover is primarily concentrated in essential frontline industries where jobs can’t be done remotely. Some of September’s biggest losses come from the already strained leisure and hospitality, retail, and health services industries. People left their jobs fastest in the Southern region of the country.
