Americans are still saying 'I quit' in near-record numbers, showing that the Forever Resignation is sticking around

"When you have a higher level of openings, you also tend to have a higher level of quits as well because workers have more opportunities to actually go out and find a job that is a better fit for them," Zhao said."So in the context of very high openings right now, the Great Resignation is actually not that unusual."
April also showed just how much businesses want to hold onto their workers: Layoffs and discharges reached a new record low. Just 1.2 million people were laid off or discharged in April, a rate of 0.8%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
