Employee resignations are on the rise as U.S. workers continue to job-hop in 2025, according to a report by Remote People.
While some states are seeing only minor shifts, others are experiencing a notable uptick in resignations, the data showed, reflecting increased job confidence, changing priorities or dissatisfaction with current roles.
“For employers, these trends reinforce the need to invest in retention, understand regional dynamics and adapt to evolving employee expectations,” Remote People said in the report. “For job seekers, rising quit rates can offer insight into market momentum. High turnover may suggest strong demand for talent, more job opportunities or increased bargaining power for workers.”
At the same time, one in four job applicants are lying, exaggerating or providing inaccurate information to their potential employers, according to a study by career.io. Among those who admitted to previous dishonesty, 23% reported exaggerating their responsibilities for a past role, the data showed, while 22% claimed to have worked at a place they had not.
“Many job seekers believe that if they can get through the initial resume screening and land an interview, they’ll have a real shot at impressing the hiring manager,” said Certified Professional Career Coach, Amanda Augustine. “That belief often leads some candidates to stretch the truth on their resumes. But even small exaggerations can come back to bite you.”
Male workers are more likely to be dishonest on job applications than their female counterparts, with 33.2% of men admitting to exaggeration compared to 21.1% of women. Meanwhile, 47% of Gen Z admit to lying, compared to 38.5% of millennials, 20.4% of Generation X and just 9.4% of Baby Boomers.
