Shocking Number of Workers Planning to Leave Their Job Due to COVID-19

A recent Nulab poll of 1,000 employed Americans found that nearly a third are planning to leave their job within the next year due to actions taken by their employers as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, reports The Ladders . About two out of five respondents had a positive opinion of how their company handled the response to the crisis, but 32 percent said the response was so bad that they will seek employment elsewhere. Baby boomers had the most positive opinions about their employers' responses, with 47 percent of respondents expressing their approval while 17 percent were negative. Essential service workers had the most negative reaction to their employer's response, while 73 percent of respondents said they felt safe in their current work environment despite other studies saying that workers could be reluctant to return to work.
