Using Labor Bureau data, WalletHub examined resignation rates from the last month and the last year across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The personal finance website then ranked each state — giving double weight to last month’s resignation rates — to determine which areas are most affected by the Great Resignation.
Here are the states with the highest job resignation rates, per WalletHub:
