As the economy has continued to recover from the economic damage of the past few years, there has been a surge in job openings, with some employers having a difficult time filling all their open positions. On top of that, the U.S. experienced a phenomenon dubbed the “Great Resignation,” where millions of Americans quit their jobs each month, many of whom were unsatisfied with their pay or working conditions.
Although most experts have now declared the Great Resignation over, workers in some states are quitting their jobs more frequently than in others. As a result, workers in states with a bigger labor shortage have more leverage in negotiating favorable terms of employment. To shed light on this situation, WalletHub took a look at the data to rank the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on how frequently people are leaving their places of employment.
