New data from the federal government shows a whopping 4.4 million workers quit their jobs in September alone: Raising serious questions over the country’s recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic and other economic crises.
“A record 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in September, as job openings remained near record levels according to federal data, a sign of how imbalances in the labor market continue to complicate the economic recovery 20 months into the pandemic,” reports the Washington Post.
“Those numbers are up from August, when 4.3 million people who quit their jobs in August — about 2.9 percent of the workforce. September’s quit numbers constituted 3 percent of the workforce,” adds the newspaper.

BIDEN on ???: ‘Fast-Food Workers’ Forced to Sign ‘Non-Compete Agreements’ But They Don’t ‘Have Secrets’
Former Vice President Joe Biden continued his gaffe-filled campaign over the weekend; strangely asserting that fast-food workers are forced to sign “non-compete agreements” so they can’t earn “five more cents.”
“You had thousands of employees making an hourly wage having to sign non-compete agreements. So if you work at Burger King, you can’t go across town to McDonald’s to try and get five more cents. All designed to do nothing, just keep wages down, you could not go!” said Biden.
“It’s not like you have a secret, these are people making an hourly wage. Just doing their job. They were told they can’t even bargain!” he added.
