How significant is the Great Resignation compared to past historical trends in job quits?

The Great Resignation is incredibly significant compared to past historical trends. For example, compared to only ten years ago, in 2011, more than double the number of people are quitting each and every month. In fact, the quit rate per month for 2021 is 115% higher than the monthly quit rate in 2011.

Overall, the past decade or so has been very historic when it comes to job quitting. While 2009 saw some of the lowest rates in history, 2021 has some of the highest rates in history.
