Britain’s Hiring Freeze Deepens As Worker Supply Surges To Post-Pandemic High

More Americans are sticking with their current jobs, but not just because of the uncertainties in the U.S. economy. According to a recent data analysis published by The Wall Street Journal, more are holding on to current positions because of better opportunities for increased wages, benefits, and flexible work. 

The report shows how, after a surge in job resignations during the pandemic, the trend of workers quitting their jobs has started to decline. The Labor Department’s measurement of quit rates — which represents resignations as a percentage of total employment — was 2.3% in July, down from its peak of 3% in April 2022. This decline has brought the rate back to pre-pandemic levels.

Initially, as businesses reopened post-Covid-19 lockdowns, there was a significant demand for workers. This led to a trend that many know as the Great Resignation, where employees left their jobs in search of better opportunities — mainly driven by higher wages and improved benefits. However, the rate of resignations has cooled recently as the incentives to switch jobs have become less attractive. 

The pace of job growth has also slowed, and when analyzing data published by Indeed, the Wall Street Journal reported a 15% drop in job postings over the previous year. This reveals that there are fewer opportunities for employees to find new roles in their fields.

The U.S. job market’s recent trends highlight a future of work where employee loyalty, flexibility, and innovative workplace strategies take center stage. The mounting data suggests that competitive retention strategies are working even as firms across many industries in the U.S. face labor shortages. Since the pandemic, many U.S. workers have also adopted either remote or hybrid work environments and this newfound flexibility is contributing to the success of these retention efforts.
