I don't think a significant proportion of people are actually leaving the workforce permanently, but something major is shifting in the US: workers are demanding better working conditions and pay, and taking less bullshit. I think there are probably 10% of the worst employers in the country who just can't hire right now - from a mixture of bad reputation and unwillingness to pay (rising) market wages. There are better jobs out there - so workers are going to where managers treat them with humanity. Check out reddit.com/r/antiwork - this subreddit has grown extremely rapidly over the past ~6 months. It feels like a movement is bubbling. I wouldn't be surprised if we see widespread labor marches and strikes in 2022.
