And what does quitting even mean here? The vast majority are probably simply changing employers, not leaving the industry. And of course mobility for all industries is higher in 2021 than 2020. This article is useless clickbait sensationalist trash with zero actual data.

"And what does quitting even mean here?" It means nothing. We have a specialized nurse in our family. He can get a job at anytime anywhere in the US. One phone call, hired. He will quit a job because the break room doesn't have enough light OR he just wants a month off. He often will go back to a hospital he quit four times: re-hired that day.

  While we’re doing anecdotes, my wife quit her full time job to take a part time gig making care plans for a retirement center (office work). This is because she couldn’t deal with the patient load and stress from family members. This was pre-COVID. The job is bad enough without a pandemic.

  1. “Retarded” as a pejorative is generally considered impolite to the actually retarded. [1] 2. I think you probably mean “too”. 3. Take a deep breath. It will be ok.

  How does "Record-high numbers of Americans working in other public-facing roles also quit their jobs as coronavirus cases surged" tell you anything about whether they returned to the industry or not? It doesn't even tell you they quit because of Coronavirus cases surging, just that those two things were happening at the same time. Further, it doesn't even say whether people in public-facing jobs were quitting more frequently than people in non-public-facing jobs.
