Staffing Issues for Summer of 2021

phoenix · 11-26-2021, 07:50 AM

over 4M people quit their jobs in September. New Hampshire's quit rate compared to August was up 39% third highest in the country

Yup. We talked about this back in early summer, when we were discussing the end of the unemployment bump, hiring difficulties, and the phrase "great resignation."

Sometime after that, "The Big Quit" was coined.

As best I ever saw, the unemployment bump everyone blamed on the help shortage was negligible. It appears people weren't returning to work because the jobs they'd be returning to sucked or didn't pay well enough to jump through hoops.

Is this the usual end of summer in NH tourist jobs?

(BTW, I was always taught that 'M' is the Roman numeral for 1,000, so 4M means 4,000. 4 Million would be 4MM. )

4 Millon, the roman numeral would not have a ''4'', and it is nationwide... with NH having comparable results.

People leaving for other jobs that they feel fit them better.

As a purist you are correct about 4MM, but over time the "purity" factor has slipped, considerably, and a hybrid, if you will, has emerged wherein people use "M" for "million" and whatever number they need to represent how many, not using an appropriate Roman configuration. "K" seems to be what is used instead of "M" when trying to indicate "thousands", along with the appropriate number to represent how many. Trying to represent a large number using the correct Roman numeral configuration would get rather cumbersome for everyday use and simplicity.

Camp Guy is dead on. MM is 2,000 in Rome.

I find it fascinating that Roman numerals are even used anymore.

To me they are nothing but a pain.

I think it's fun to see what year that old time TV program was filmed. MCMLXIV!
