In a recent article featured on CNBC.com titled "More confident, people are quitting jobs: Why that may be bad," writer John W. Schoen indicates more people are quitting their jobs and risking unemployment since the plummet of the economy in 2008. He writes, "The rise in quits is being driven, in part, by a rise in the number of job openings, which are now more plentiful than any time since 2008...The increasing numbers show the economy getting stronger, the theory goes, because workers are getting confident enough to take on the risk of changing jobs—or leaving the workforce altogether."
Although the majority of people leaving their positions are nearing the end of their working career and anticipating retirement, none so few are also recent college graduates seeking to make a break into their chosen career field but are having a difficult time of it due to lack of experience required by many employers.

Schoen continues on saying that based on a CBO Report, it is estimated that many people are also leaving the work force due to the availability of affordable healthcare outside of an employer," some of those workers who quit because they can afford health care on their own may start a new business, creating more jobs and wages for others who are ready for a new professional challenge."
