The finding is from Stacker, which used Bureau of Labor Statistics data to rank states by their preliminary October 2023 quit rates. Quit rates are calculated by the bureau as the number of quits during the month as a percentage of the total number of jobs. Stacker used the number of quitters as a tiebreaker when needed.
