When the coronavirus pandemic sent countless white collar workers home to work remotely, both business leaders and employees had to acclimate. From technology to workflow, it seemed like every aspect of the workday required readjusting. According to data from the inaugural Microsoft Corp. Work Trend Index, whose results were released in March, more than 40% of the global workforce reported they are considering leaving their employer in 2021, with 46% reporting they plan to move because they are now able to work remotely. This could have major implications for companies stationed in cities and other industry hubs around the country, where housing and living costs are often more expensive than in other regions.

    I agree with the previous comment. There are signs everywhere, trying to hire on the spot. My friend is a manager at Cumberland Farms and they are experiencing the worst hiring shortage since the 90's. My local Dunks has to shut the door to the lobby because they don't have enough employees coming to work to staff the counter and the drive thru. My cousin's job closed in early January 2020, his unemployment was about to expire, then COVID hit and he has not even attempted to look for a job because he is making WAY more sitting at home doing nothing, and he has a son and a house to take care of. He has no plans to get a job til September, when the COVID money goes away.

    Turnover?! We can't hire folks back to work because the government has given away so much free money! No one wants to work. They'd rather stay home, collect money, do side jobs earning extra money. Business folks cannot even begin to compete with that.
