According to the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics, about 50.5 million people quit their jobs in 2022 in America alone, surpassing its record of 47.8 million in 2021.
COVID-19 disruptions caused workers to reassess priorities, exposing vulnerabilities, inequalities, and stressors. Remote work and alternative paths gained prominence.
Quiet Quitting trend saw reduced engagement and rejection of work-centric life, as people sought more meaningful and flexible roles.
Sectors like healthcare, customer support, education, travel, and manufacturing faced challenges due to labor shortages, low wages, and changing expectations.
