Nick Bunker, economic research director at Indeed Hiring Lab, told Insider that the number of Americans quitting is still elevated. He said regarding people leaving for new jobs and employers trying to retain the staff they have that"this is a trend that is no longer sort of accelerating, but it is still very much with us."
