A different kind of quit
Welcome to the Know the Difference Minute for Wednesday, July 20th.
There’s more to The Great Resignation story. 
More than 4 million Americans have left jobs each month this year, and researchers say it’s not ending anytime soon. About 40% of US workers are considering quitting in the next 3-6 months. That’s from a McKinsey survey of over 6,000 workers. 
Here’s the difference. It’s not about the beach. For many, it’s about new opportunities. 48% of quits are people switching industries. It’s a great time to do it. Because of ongoing worker shortages, HR teams now prioritize skills over educational background or job experience
About 20% have chosen temp and part-time work—OR, to start their own business.  New business applications are up by more than 30%. Over 5.4 million last year alone.
If one chooses—America is still the land of opportunity.
