There seems to be a broad understanding among those in these fields that these jobs just keep getting worse, and so people are quitting. They may be getting worse for different reasons (worse conditions, less satisfaction, declining pay, more qualifications needed, etc etc), but there's a net sense of dissatisfaction. For people new to the job, there's usually an initial shock that the job is so far removed from its mission that there's no personal satisfaction, and they ultimately leave.
