In today's hyper-competitive job market, employers are doing just about everything they can to attract and retain employees. This includes offering better wages, more flexible schedules and better benefits. Despite these perks, employers are still struggling to fill positions.
In fact, over the past several months there has been a tidal wave of Americans quitting their jobs, including a record 4.4 million Americans quitting their job in September alone, according to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's on top of the previous record of 4.3 million Americans quitting their job in August and another four million quitting their job in July.
