It’s been decades since workers have held the upper hand in the United States job market, and the latest data suggests the odds will continue to be stacked in their favour.Some 4.4 million Americans – that’s 3 percent of all employed workers in the nation – quit their jobs in September, the United States Department of Labor said on Friday. That was 164,000 more than in August and marked the second straight month of a record-shattering quits rate in the Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS).The quits rate is a barometer of workers’ ability or willingness to leave jobs. And job hunters certainly have plenty of breathing room to be choosy about who they work for, with the number of job openings in September little changed at 10.4 million.
