The Great Resignation is over, but workers still want to quit

In a new PwC survey, 28% of respondents said they were likely to switch jobs within the next year—up from 19% in 2022.

Over the past year, many experts have declared that the Great Resignation is finally over—including the very professor who coined the term. As the era of workers quitting their jobs en masse has come to an end, experts believe the workforce has entered a period of relative stability—dubbed the Big Stay!—with workers seemingly more hesitant to rock the boat and leave their jobs. The data has supported this sentiment, as well: In 2023, the rate of workers quitting their jobs dropped by 12% compared to the year prior, according to the Labor Department.
