with 205,000 fewer people handing in resignation letters compared to the month prior, according to the Labor Department\u2019s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>As a share of the total workforce, the so-called quits rate fell from 3 percent in September to 2.8 in October. <\/p>\n<p>Still, a whopping 4.16 million people in total walked away from their employer in the month, the figures show \u2014 with most of those who resigned coming from the transportation, warehousing, utilities, finance and insurance industries. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, total job openings nationwide surprisingly surged back to record levels, according to the data. <\/p>\n<p>There were just over 11 million openings across the country as of the last day of October, an increase of some 431,000 from September, the feds said. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"594\"
