Americans quit their jobs at a record clip in August, a new government report said Tuesday, with restaurant and hotel workers leading the mass exodus.
A whopping 4.3 million people quit two months ago, the most on record dating back to December 2000 — and 300,000 more than in July, according to the Labor Department report.
The August quits are the equivalent of 3 percent of the US workforce.
Hiring in August also plunged sharply — down to 6.3 million from 6.8 million in July — despite the number of available jobs remaining near record high levels.
In the past year, open jobs have increased 62 percent, though available jobs did fall to 10.4 million in August, from a record high of 11.1 million in July.
Quits in August at restaurants, bars and hotels jumped 21 percent compared to the previous month for a total of 900,000.
And August saw a 6 percent jump in retail workers leaving their jobs.
Thats bad, yet the conversation now turns to the holiday season minus supplies. No supplies means less workers to move goods and services, meaning cray cray.
These 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th order effect due to COVID are off the charts.

The Covid mandate is causing people to quit their jobs. Their well being means more to them than some poison jab the government wants you to have.
The US government is totally responsible.
It will only get worse if that stupid vax mandate is not done away with.
