In the midst of a recovering economy tarnished by the Covid-19 pandemic, a surprising pattern emerges – and is only growing. A massive upheaval has taken place in the American workplace, with roughly a quarter of all Americans quitting their jobs. With a quarter of the US workforce willing to leave their jobs, the US is registering 46 million registrations this year alone.
The two hardest hit sectors during the pandemic, the restaurant and hospitality industries, have experienced the most resignations. Part of the reason for the massive turnout of resignations is due to government stimulus checks given out during the pandemic, as well as physical and mental health stresses. With inflation in the US on the rise, American workers who resigned are posed to experience further financial stress.
Several strikes are currently taking place across the US. This week, over 5,000 Fred Meyers workers are on strike due to not being fairly treated during the pandemic. To make matters worse, a hospital in Massachusetts, Saint Vincent’s Hospital, has spent nearly $4,000,000 dollars to cover the costs of a strike that has gone on for over 300 days.
