News Alert: A record number of workers quit their jobs in 2021
  Last year was a historic year for American jobs. A record number of workers quit their jobs while US employers had more positions to fill than ever before. In December, 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs, down slightly from the record 4.5 million quits in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. While millions of workers left jobs for cash incentives, better pay or better benefits, people also left the labor market to care for their children or elderly relatives during the pandemic. Meanwhile, older workers retired early either because they could or because age discrimination forced them out of the labor market.
