Americans walking away from humiliating, low pay jobs in record numbers
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.
Actually I love it, it’s long over due for labor, organized of not, to flex their muscles. It’s a reminder to the high and mighty that a dramatically underpaid workforce can quit and give them the finger while their at it. Love it even more that the right would have been clamoring for more immigrants not all that long ago. Will it last? I have no idea, but I sure hope so.
