The newest statistics on the American economy, analyzed by our own @aaronsojourner.org.
1.87 American employees quit their job for each employee fired by their employer in Nov.
This #LaborLeverageRatio proxies for worker power in their job and rose due to both a 6% increase in quits & a 9% fall in firings (=layoffs & discharges) versus Oct.
