Millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the COVID-29 pandemic, but now, it’s employers that are struggling to find workers, leading to reduced busines hours, delays in services. The pandemic caused people to reflect on what they wanted to do, and what they didn’t want to do anymore. Americans are quitting their jobs at record rates in what is being called the “Great Resignation.” They’re moving on to different career paths, finding better positions elsewhere, starting their own businesses or leaving the job force all together.
