Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday, 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August.

To put August's numbers in perspective, the number of workers who quit their jobs rose by 242,000 from July — and by around 1.3 million since August 2020, which recorded a total of almost 3 million quits.

Experts stress that people are leaving their jobs as workers across the country are demanding higher pay, better employment conditions and critical support in their daily lives.

In addition, job openings declined to 10.4 million by the end of August — dropping by 659,000 from July.

In August 2020, there were about 6.5 million job openings.

Julia Pollak, the chief economist at ZipRecruiter, says the high number of job openings can contribute to the quit rate.

The number of hires also decreased in August, to 6.3 million — down by 439,000 from July
