Here are the states where the most Americans quit their jobs in September when a record 4.4 million walked out
, signaling more Americans took jobs that month. But record quits signal the workers are still in an unusual state of flux, and like many aspects of the pandemic recovery, the wave of walkouts is extremely uneven.
As far as total quits go, Texas came in with the largest increase of 69,000. Roughly 40,000 workers walked out in California, and Colorado saw 25,000 residents quit. To be sure, all three states are among the most populous in the US, and their quit rates aren't among the country's highest. The data suggests states with smaller populations and fewer metropolitan hubs are still scrambling to stave off quits and revive their pre-crisis labor markets. Recent months have seen businesses raise wages as they rush to attract workers and fill job openings. But where some states are finding it difficult to fill job openings, others are also contending with a wave of resignations.
Yet the states with the most quits aren't home to the most openings. Openings rates were the highest in Alaska, Georgia, and Massachusetts in September, according to BLS data.
