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
Workers in mining and logging in the United States quit at an average rate of 2.1% of employment per month during 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure is a monthly average across the twelve months of the year, not a count of everyone who left over the full year, so read it alongside the BLS hires rate of 3.1% and total separations rate of 3.3% for the same industry and period. Set your own monthly separation counts next to these numbers before drawing conclusions about how your workforce compares. The stakes are real: SHRM puts the cost of replacing an employee at 50% to 200% of their annual salary, depending on level.
