What this means
In Kentucky, total nonfarm quits averaged 2.0% of employment per month across 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is an average monthly share, not the number of employees who exited over the full year. The Bureau also puts job openings at 4.7% and layoffs and discharges at 1.1% for the same cell, so open roles substantially outnumbered involuntary exits. Compare the whole set with your own monthly separation data to find where your organization diverges.
