CNN–A record number of Americans quit their jobs last year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded 4.3 millions Americans left their jobs in December alone. That number is down from November’s record of 4.5 million. It’s been dubbed “the great resignation,” which set a record for people walking away from their jobs in 2021. That has left employers with close to 11 million vacant jobs to fill in January.
