Where this sits

In the United States, accommodation and food services ranks 1st of 19 sectors for average monthly quits rate, among the highest. It sits 110% above the United States' all-industries figure of 2%.

This is an average monthly rate: the share of employment that quit voluntarily in a typical month of the year shown. It is not an annual turnover rate and cannot be multiplied into one.

Voluntary departures in a month divided by that month's headcount, averaged over several months. Do not enter an annual turnover rate; the two are not comparable.

What this means

In 2025, quits in the accommodation and food services industry in the United States averaged 4.2% of employment per month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure counts the share of jobs ending in a voluntary quit during a typical month, not the share of staff who left over the full 2025 reference period. For the same industry and period, the Bureau of Labor Statistics also reports a hires rate of 5.5% and a job openings rate of 5.6%, so hiring roughly kept pace with departures while demand for workers stayed high. Compare all three against your own monthly separation counts, since a single site or role can sit well above or below the national figure.
