Employers may soon be able to breathe a sigh of relief after nearly two years of The Great Resignation in the workplace.
The Great Resignation has been “emerged from” by the job market, according to LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky on CNBC Make It.
The widespread flight of workers during the epidemic is referred to as the phenomenon, also called the “Great Reshuffle.”
Roslansky claims that from a high of 44% in September of last year to -2% this year, the percentage of global LinkedIn members changing employment has decreased year over year.
Similar to North America, the “job transition rate” in Asia-Pacific has sharply decreased over the same time frame, dropping from a peak of 83% to 4%, he added.

However, Roslansky noted that the demand for these remote positions “continues to outstrip supply,” a sign that employees are resisting a return to the previous modes of employment.
“Applications for remote employment have stayed stable at just above 20% in India, for instance, even while remote jobs have fallen to 11% from a peak of 19% in March of this year,” he continued.
