Amid widespread layoffs and hiring freezes under Democrat President Joe Biden’s economy, around 50 percent of American workers say they plan to quit their jobs in 2023, new data shows.
The uncertain economy is driving key players in the tech, automobile, media, and food industries to make unprecedented cutbacks in their operations.
However, despite the uncertainty, new data shows nearly half of all workers are looking to quit anyway, according to a recent survey from business consulting firm Robert Half.
Even with growing concerns of a potential recession, 46% of professionals are already looking to plan to find a new job in the first half of the new year, the data shows.
The number is up from 41% six months ago, according to the company’s biannual Job Optimism Survey.
Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Lyft, and Twitter were among technology companies announcing hiring freezes or layoffs in recent months, according to Fox Business.
In fact, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees in a memo made public that layoffs will continue in 2023.
The media industry was also recently hit hard as hundreds of industry staffers were laid off in recent weeks including those who worked for BuzzFeed, CNN, and Gannett, the company that owns dozens of local media outlets and USA Today.
Digital media company BuzzFeed is one of the latest media companies to reduce its workforce.
The company said it’s trying to “weather the economic downturn” which it projects will extend into 2023.
