re: Honk: People are quitting their jobs at record rates. That's a good thing for the economy.

I’ll be one of these in December. But that was all planned pre-pandemic with completion of my Masters.

Thats great.

Congrats.

This is bizarre to me. These people just quitting won’t draw unemployment because they’re not being laid off.

People are idiots.

Also, Scruffy disagrees with the writer’s premise.

There is a difference in “what is good for the economy” and “what is good for the individual”.

Even the concept of quitting to look for a higher paying job or starting a business may ultimately be good for the individual but not for the economy.

That issue becomes even more apparent when millions of people do that at the same time.

The general rate of successful rebound is likely pretty low, which is not “good for the economy”.

There is a balance that must be maintained.
