This isn't good:
Pay attention to that last line:
The Great Resignation is PICKING UP speed
Here's more from the Washington Examiner:
Some 4.4 million workers quit their jobs in September, up from a previous record of 4.3 million in August. The quantity of people quitting is the highest since the United States began keeping records of the statistic about two decades ago. The figure is equivalent to about 3% of the country's labor force.
The rate measures the number of people who voluntarily left their jobs and includes those who left their job for another one and people who quit and are confident they will soon find new employment, given the tight labor market.
This makes you wonder: Why is this happening?
The good Dr. Peterson might have one part of the puzzle:
The CNNLOL crowd thinks this is because there's so many available jobs because the economy is going great thanks to Supreme Leader Joseph R. Biden:
We can be happy though that the government is getting even bigger!
Jobs particularly increased in the health care and sector [sic] and in state and local government.
Speaking of Biden, has he done anything authoritarian recently that might make people leave for greener pastures?
Oh, and has our government done anything to incentivize laziness recently?
If only we had some hard data on why this phenomenon is continuing.
Oh well.
In the meantime, let's keep printing trillions of dollars and giving them away for free while we impose draconian edicts on business and individuals!
