Where this sits

In the United States, health care and social assistance ranks 8th of 19 sectors for average monthly quits rate, above the middle. It is level with the United States' all-industries figure of 2%. Across the sectors reported for the United States, average monthly quits rate runs from 0.8% in federal to 4.2% in accommodation and food services.

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 health care and social assistance across the United States averaged 2.0% of employment per month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure is an average monthly rate, not a count of everyone who left over the course of the year, so read it alongside the same agency's 3.1% hires rate and 2.9% total separations rate for the sector. Compare all three against your own monthly separation data before drawing conclusions about your staffing picture.
