Based on the fact that there are 129.32 million full-time employees in the United States (as of Nov 2021), that means 57% of people who are working are new to that job within the last 12 months? and only 54.82 million have actually stayed in their job the last 12 months. That seems like a really high turn over.

You're assuming every person who took a new job is staying there, but there could be a large number of people switching several times.

The BLS report mentions: "These totals include workers who may have been hired and separated more than once during the year."
