Specifically, 35.9% of workers quit a job in the past year, down from 38.5% in 2024 and 43.3% in 2023 – a two-year drop of nearly 17.1%. Meanwhile, involuntary separations played a major role in workforce churn, with 19.5% of employers laying off employees, and 54.8% firing or terminating staff.

The move by the EU comes after it watered down some environmental laws after blowback from business and the U.S. government. Europe’s tech rules have faced similar opposition, though the Commission has said the rules will remain robust.
