The numbers: Americans quit their jobs in May at the fastest rate since 2001, showing that workers feel so good about the economy they are willing to leave one company for another.

The percentage of people in the private sector who left their jobs by choice rose to 2.7% from 2.5%, the government said Tuesday. The so-called quits rate among all workers edged up to 2.4% from 2.3%. Both hit the highest levels since 2001.

Record number of Americans quitting their jobs to seek better opportunities: report
By Emily Birnbaum - 07/10/18 01:34 PM EDT

A record number of Americans are quitting their jobs to seek better opportunities, according to Labor Department data first reported by Bloomberg.

The rate of U.S. employees quitting their jobs reached its highest rate in 17 years, rising from 2.3 percent in April to 2.4 percent in May, when 3.56 million Americans left their jobs.

Rising “quit rates” are considered positive because they often indicate employees are leaving their current positions for jobs with higher wages and better benefits.

The Labor Department data show there were fewer job openings in May than there were in April, but considering April’s number of job openings was a record 6.84 million, the 6.64 million jobs available in May still indicates a strong economy, Bloomberg reported.
