That I can totally understand. However, if we're looking at the labor market as a whole, people making comfortable tech salaries are definitely outliers. Coupled with the fact that (anecdotally) it seems many of the people who don't want to return to their old jobs (or want to resign) are either in the service industry, or have/had lower paid entry level job salaries, I'm still stuck trying to understand how these folks will survive financially.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if all these "great resignation" articles are referring to high paid skilled jobs (eg tech workers), which in my opinion wouldn't effect the economy as a whole very much since they are a relatively small portion of it, or if these articles are referring to the broad economy including lower paid jobs.

Isn't it a norm that before you resign you already signed the job offee on yor next job? So there's no down time for you?

I mentioned it in another comment, but if this is the case it feels like calling the movement a “great resignation” is a bit misleading, as a more appropriate label would be a “great company switching”

One definitely resigns when they leave one company for another.
