What this means
In Pennsylvania, quits in total nonfarm employment averaged 1.6% of employment per month during 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is an average monthly figure, not a count of everyone who left over the year. BLS put hires at 2.7% and job openings at 4.0% for the state, a pattern of relatively low voluntary movement alongside open demand. Your own monthly separation data is the right thing to hold up against these numbers.
