Spurred by the global pandemic, the Great Resignation saw an exodus of people from the workforce; over the past year, more than 4 million US employees each month have left jobs for a myriad of reasons.
Some employees said they were highly dissatisfied with work, but others cited more practical reasons. For example, women left the workforce more than men because of care-giving responsibilities, whether it was for children or elderly relatives, according to Amy Loomis, research director for IDC’s worldwide Future of Work market research service.
