The number of quits increased most significantly in the professional and business services sector, as well as construction.
“As employers require workers to return to offices, quits are ticking upwards. A major reason for quitting is to find a remote opportunity,” wrote ZipRecruiter chief economist Julia Pollak on Twitter.

Retail and manufacturing job postings rose, while government jobs and positions in transportation, warehousing and utilities decreased.
