The Theme Song of August 2021

4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August.

This might be old news at this point, being from about 10 days ago, but I’d like to call your attention to it anyway: “Record-breaking 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August, new data show.”

You can read the article for what some experts think is going on, and the forecast for employment. And how people’s attitudes towards work could be changing and the support that people need to return to work.

However, when that many people quit in one month, I’m thinking that this is what might be going on.
