Where Are the Missing Workers?:
Our November/December 2021 Issue

 

Illustration by Daniel Zender

In October, 4.2 million Americans, close to 3 percent of the entire U.S.
workforce, quit their jobs. That was a decrease from September, when
4.43 million Americans quit. September's was the highest monthly quit
rate ever seen, beating the record set the month before, in August. Why
are so many workers deciding to leave their jobs?

The Prospect dug deep into this for the cover story of our latest issue,
talking to dozens of workers and finding that the circumstances of the
pandemic forced a real reckoning for low-wage workers. It's the kind of
long-view reporting about power that the Prospect is known for, and in
the November/December issue
we applied the same
treatment to Democrats and campaign money, financial regulation, sexual
assault in the military, and a whole lot more.

Here are some of the highlights:

The Great Escape
:
Workers are quitting their jobs after the trauma of the pandemic.
Executive Editor David Dayen investigates why.

Succession
:
Hakeem Jeffries is the heir apparent to Nancy Pelosi. Little has been
made of his record. Staff Writer Alexander Sammon with analysis.

Burying the Evidence
:
Contributor Jonathan Guyer explains how the military concealed its best
chance at solving its sexual assault problem.

What the New Sheriffs of Wall Street Can Do
:
Biden has empowered a crop of aggressive financial regulators. They'll
need to look beyond the banking industry and into finance's darker
corners. Writing Fellow Lee Harris with analysis.

The Democratic Dilemma on Dark Money
:
Contributor Rachel Cohen explains that liberal electoral groups are now
spending more from undisclosed donors than Republicans. Campaigners
don't readily give up winning strategies.

Built to Lie
:
Contributor Maureen Tkacik reviews a new book about the Boeing 737 MAX
disaster that exposes the company's allergy to the truth.
