NEW YORK CITY - Since the COVID-19 pandemic, a record number of Americans have quit their jobs in a movement that later became known as "The Great Resignation." In 2023, for instance, 30.5 million workers resigned their positions as of August, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The effects of The Great Resignation are still being grappled with by major industries, who are to this day struggling with a labor shortages. Though politicians in Washington keep looking for ways to remedy this trend, one solution seems to be an elephant in the room: more immigrants.
