    Context for understanding rising quits. Corporate profits are through the roof and have been rising extremely quickly. Employers unwilling to share the value that their workers help create are getting push back & attrition as workers move towards employers who do.

    Over the last 2 years, corporate profits grew quite fast in many industries, especially during pandemic. An average of 10% annualized corporate profit growth over a period with 3-4% annualized wage growth, depending on measure. There are non-corporate employers as well.
