U.S. workers have experienced a reckoning. March 2020, the month COVID-19 began shuttering businesses, was unprecedented and scary. For many Americans, it was also life-changing. Some lost friends or family to the pandemic, while others have suffered from the long-term effects of the virus.
Psychologists refer to such times as a “shock event.” Following a shock event, it’s natural for humans to reassess their lives, including what they do for a living. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 4 million Americans quit their jobs in July. The same was true in April, May, and June. It appears that a mass exodus has begun, fueled by several issues. Some people are starting their own businesses, while others have lingering safety concerns related to the pandemic. And for some, making a big change is the only thing that feels right following such a life-altering event.
