I wish data and statistics weren't so frequently abused. This article told me nothing concrete of value. "Hey this number is big" - Yes, but was it also big before? How much bigger is it now? 2%? 10%? Is the cumulative number larger than just the sum of months under quarantine? Ie this is just pent up demand and if we averaged it across months it'd look normal? Historically what percentage of people thinking about changing jobs at some point in time actually do within 12mo? 10%? 70%? Without any context to me this article is just as likely to be the precursor to a follow up articke about "the major job resignation that never materialized" as is it to be about an actual change in positions.
