NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — It's called the "Great Resignation," and it could bring dramatic changes to New York City.
Employees are saying "I quit" more than ever before. The pandemic has changed every aspect of our lives, especially the way we work, where we work or if we still work at all. Economists describe the "Great Resignation" as the boom of people resigning from their jobs post-pandemic. Surveys show up to 40% of workers plan on leaving within the next few months, and we're already seeing a sharp increase in workers sending in their resignation letters.
On this episode, we will explain why experts believe the "Great Resignation" is coming, how this could change the dynamics of neighborhoods, retail, and even tourism in New York City, and the conversations workers should have before leaving their jobs.
This week, we speak to Axios business reporter Erica Pandey, who has done extensive reporting on the "Great Resignation." We also chat with our small business expert, Rob Walsh, to see how this impacts the city. And lastly, we catch up with TikToker @KatieYowYow, a tech recruiter who has been getting many career questions on social media centered around resignation.
