Many health care workers, chose retirement, I personally know over 80 people that chose that route. During the pandemic businesses that closed encouraged employees to go back to school.

Many were already in school, became full time students. Some with degrees furthered their education. Restaurant workers left in droves with a higher education, for jobs with healthcare insurance, paid leave, and promises of a better future.

2 high end restaurant/bars that we know had 123 employees between them. The owner encouraged them to return to school, during the pandemic half their workforce returned to their old jobs. The rest moved on to something that improves their life.

Owner was proud of encouraging employees to move to a better lifestyle, as he told them waitstaff is not a career, but a stepping stone. He had to hire and train a new workforce, still short staff, but his business will survive
