The quit rate in Florida — the number of people who left a job during a given month as a percentage of the number of people employed — is rising, albeit slightly, according to a new report.
Even so, Florida is essentially in the middle of other states in the country with a quit rate of 2.7%. The report, from HR tech company SelectSoftware Reviews, found that 19 states had a rate between 2.5% and 3%. Florida ranked No. 17, tied with Oklahoma and Alabama at 2.7%. (The report found that 275,000 people in Florida quit or left their jobs in November 2023, up from 268,000 in November 2022.)
The state with the most job quitters is the state furthest from Florida: Alaska, with a quit rate of 3.48%. Montana, at 3.38%; and Wyoming, at 3.33%, are behind The Last Frontier State. Massachusetts, with a 1.43% quit rate and New York, at 1.55%, have lowest number of job quitters — data that goes somewhat against the trends of people fleeing those states in droves, usually to Florida.
