A recent study conducted by ResumeBlaze has unveiled a significant trend in the employment landscape of the United States, placing Florida in the spotlight. 

The study, which assessed data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, reveals that Florida currently boasts the highest job resignation rate increase in the nation, marking a distinctive departure from the overall national trend.

ResumeBlaze’s insights

The insights provided by the study were curated by the resume specialists at ResumeBlaze, who compared quit rates between September 2022 and September 2023. 

The focus of their analysis was to discern which states experienced an upward trajectory in job resignations and which ones saw a decline.

As the nation observed an overall decline of 11.54 per cent in job resignations from September 2022 to September 2023, Florida witnessed a surge of 7.41 per cent in job quits during the same period. 

Reports are that this equates to a substantial increase of 20,000 individuals leaving their employment compared to the previous year, reaching a total of 281,000 Floridians bidding farewell to their jobs.

Florida among three states 

Florida joins Louisiana and Texas as one of the three states witnessing an increasing quit rate year-over-year.

Louisiana, claiming the second spot on the list, reported an increase of 6.45 per cent in job quits. This year, 66,000 Louisianans decided to leave their jobs, compared to 60,000 in the previous year.

Taking the third position, Texas recorded a 3.7 per cent increase in job resignations. In total, 369,000 individuals bid adieu to their employment in the state.
