This morning we got news that there’s a record-high level of job openings in the US right now. This is probably no surprise to many people, as we have been inundated with stories about the difficulty that firms are experiencing in terms of hiring.

This morning’s National Federation of Independent Business survey showed the same thing, with a record high 48% of companies saying they have unfilled openings.

But it is not just that hiring is strained. Workers are also quitting at increasing rates, at least according to government data. And it is especially acute in the food industry.

Per this morning’s JOLTS report, 5.6% of workers in the accommodation and food-services industry quit their job in April, up from 5.4% last month. This is record territory.

Of course, the more restaurants and other service industries make a point of how aggressively they are trying to hire, the more workers will feel comfortable leaving a job, knowing that other opportunities await them.

Lots of the workers are believed to have learned about trading cryptocurrencies and the meme stocks, smart moves.

Have a healthy day, Keep the Faith!
