Department said in its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called quits rate \u2014 or the number of workers who resigned as a percent of total employment \u2014 increased to a record-high 3 percent in the month.<\/p>\n<p>Resigning employees were led by workers in the arts, entertainment and recreation industry, as well as those in state and local government education, according to the federal data.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, hiring slowed slightly \u2014 down to 6.46 million from 6.5 million in August, according to revised figures released Friday. <\/p>\n<p>However, the total number of available jobs remained near record levels, at 10.44 million \u2014 down slightly from 10.63 million in August but nearly 58 percent higher than the same period last year. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper twitter\">\n<blockquote
