Great Resignation

The Great Resignation, also called the Big Quit, is an ongoing trend in the labor market that is characterized by high voluntary turnover.

Primarily observed in the United States following the Covid-19 pandemic, the Great Resignation is most significant among mid-career employees and in the tech and health care industries.

Reasons for the Great Resignation include increased workloads during the pandemic, general dissatisfaction at work, and changed worker expectation regarding flexibility and work-life balance.
