15 Jobs Americans Quit the Most in 2023 — Including 2 That Pay Over $100K

The top jobs employees are quitting are predominantly those in the healthcare and technology sector, according to Payscale’s 2023 End-of-Year Job Market Report. According to the report, the most-quit jobs “represent occupations where employees are stressed, under-challenged, burned out, or unhappy with their pay and benefits compared to what they think they can get elsewhere.”

A big factor causing dissatisfaction is also a lack of work-life balance. For example, jobs that went from work-from-home to back into the office could now have dissatisfied employees — even for well-paying jobs.
