The Bureau of Labor Statistics, which isn’t given to exaggeration, has fed the coverage with headlines like this one, which it published on Jan. 6: “Number of Quits at All-Time High in November 2021.” 
Well, guess what? The record numbers that everyone’s talking about cover only the period since December 2000.
