The Number Of People Who Quit Their Jobs In One Month Is Beyond Sad!

Uncategorized

A high percentage of workers threatened to quit their job. Are they just seeking higher wages and jobs that allow work from home? Or, it is because of Biden’s mandate? Seems like the administration is good at making the Americans suffer.

According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey released Friday, a record 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in September, with the percentage of workers who decided to leave their positions rising to 3%.

According to Washington Post, the survey shows the number of people who quit their jobs is up from last month’s previous record of 4.3 million, which was 2.9%. Before the pandemic, only 2.3% of U.S. workers quit their jobs in February of 2020.

Three industries densely hit by Americans who quit their job include arts, entertainment, and recreation (+56,000), other services (+47,000), and state and local government education (+30,000). News of the faltering number of quits comes as a near-record high 10.4 million jobs remain available.

According to Fox News, this phenomenon has been dubbed the “Great Resignation” as they blame the shift on workers seeking higher wages and a pandemic influencing many to seek jobs that allow work from home.

However, while experts have recommended any number of reasons for this what they so-called “Great Resignation,” one thing they rarely talk about is the government’s vaccine mandates.

According to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation in October, 72 percent of unvaccinated workers threatened to quit their job if they were ordered to get vaccinated.

CNN News Reported:

“If the surveyed unvaccinated workers follow through on their threats to quit, it would lead to somewhere between 5% to 9% of workers leaving their jobs, depending upon what rules they face.”

Moreover, the American Trucking Association (ATA) sent a letter to the Biden administration last month expressing “grave concern” over the effect vaccine mandates would have on an already impaired supply chain.

ATA wrote:

“Our data shows that a vaccine mandate may very well further cripple the supply chain throughout the country by forcing up to 13% of drivers to leave the industry entirely.”

Aside from ATA, some truckers have advised that the mandate would cause many employees to quit their jobs, augmenting the worst driver scarcity the industry has experienced in almost 40 years.

This report on a record number of Americans who have quit their job comes on the heels of Fortune Magazine stating that currently, there are “a lot of people sitting on the sidelines”.

Fortune Magazine added that the current unemployment rate of 4.6 percent being hailed by the Biden administration “doesn’t tell the full picture.”

BLS statistics indicate about 7.4 million Americans remain out of jobs while the labor force participation rate sits at 61.6 percent. However, Fortune writes that another 6 million people want a job, but aren’t actively looking—and therefore not counted as unemployed—and 4.4 million Americans are working part-time, but want a full-time job.

On the contrary, President Biden said last week that the country is back in business and that our economy is starting to work for more Americans. Seems like the survey says otherwise and Biden just delivered some misleading statements that portray those jobs as anything other than replacements for those lost during the pandemic.

According to Politifact, Biden’s talking points on job creation glosses over the reality that the U.S. economy remains about 5 million jobs under its pre-pandemic peak.

The accumulated number of jobs sat in September at 147.6 million jobs under Biden’s administration, well behind the 152.5 million jobs in February of 2020 when Donald Trump was in the White House.
