Question

Zippia Team · Accepted Answer

Workers and employers have been impacted by the Great Resignation. First and foremost, the employee demographics most affected by the Great Resignation are those between 18-29 (37% quit their jobs in 2021) and those with lower incomes (24% quit their jobs).

These employees searched for jobs that would pay them more, as well as give them better opportunities and benefits, with about half succeeding.

Meanwhile, employers are also impacted by the Great Resignation. The sheer number of jobs available has caused employers to become very competitive. Many big names like Taco Bell, Walmart, and more, are now paying employees far more than they used to in an attempt to retain them and find new hires.
