Anecdotal - myself and most of my peers (software, EE) have moved onto new jobs during the pandemic for gargantuan raises. I don't know anyone in a white collar field who quit and is just chilling now. Old friends who work retail also quit for other retail jobs with slightly better pay, more hours, etc. It brings me joy to see the average person finally realizing their worth and leveraging a little bit of personal risk for better compensation.
