Maryland Job Resignation Stats
- Resignation rate during the latest month: 2.30%
- Resignation rate in the past 12 months: 2.43%
- Overall rank: 8th lowest in the country
Per the article/study, “As the economy has started to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a surge in job openings, with some employers having a difficult time filling all their open positions. Millions of Americans are quitting their jobs each month, even in the face of rising inflation. The incentives available from changing jobs, as well as a desire to get away from careers impacted most by COVID-19, are two big factors driving what’s been dubbed the “Great Resignation.” As a result, new job applicants have a lot of leverage.”
