The 5 States Where Workers Are Quitting Their Jobs The Most—And The Least
27th January 2022
WalletHub looked at state resignation rates over the last 12 months based on numbers from the BLS to determine where people are quitting their jobs the most – and the least. Alaska and Wyoming topped the list of quit-heavy states while New York, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia saw the lowest quit rates among workers.
Companies in New York, Pennsylvania and other states with low resignation rates have embraced remote work arrangements more so than employers in rural states, which is one of the biggest factors driving quit levels, Jill Gonzalez, a senior analyst at WalletHub, tells CNBC Make It.
Workers in the food and hospitality industries have been quitting at higher rates than those in other fields – and these industries represent some of the biggest employers in Wyoming, Alaska and more states struggling to retain talent.
