As the end of the pandemic appears to be approaching, the labor market has been flipped on its head. A survey released by the Pew Research Center in September 2020 revealed that six months after the pandemic began, roughly 25% of Americans were impacted by job loss. Today, record numbers of employees are willingly leaving their jobs.
While the first year of the pandemic sparked fears about job security and stability, employees are now taking advantage of a very friendly market for job seekers. For the first time in years, employers are struggling to acquire talent because candidates have so many offers and opportunities to consider.
