The last year has been very different, that causes an actual change in people. We can't attach numbers to it though, so it gets less attention. There has always been a balance between monitary compensation and other compensation, like being treated well, or having fewer work hours, etc. Everyone weighs these differently, but a small shift in the average weights can have a large impact. Perhaps on average people are valuing good working conditions more. Or have decided they'd rather do without some luxuries in exchange for avoiding certain types of jobs.
