What this means
Quits in total nonfarm employment in Maryland averaged 1.8% of employment per month during 2025, per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Read it as an average monthly rate rather than a count of departures summed over the year. BLS puts hires at 3.0% and layoffs and discharges at 0.9% for the same cell, so involuntary exits were a small slice of overall movement. Set your own monthly separation data beside these figures before drawing any conclusions.
