According to June data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate was 11.1%, and 17.8 million people were unemployed. May data on separations reveals that total separations decreased to 4.1 million, or 3.1%. Quits rose by 190,000 to 2.1 million. However, this stat is interesting because in May 2019, the BLS reported that 3.4 million people quit. Does this mean that there may be people who hate their jobs, but right now, they’re scared to leave? Tim Sackett, president of HRU Technical Resources in Lansing, Michigan, certainly believes that’s what happening.
