Openings vs. quits

Where Nevada sits: Cool & settled

Each point is one state, Dec 2025: openings rate on the x-axis, voluntary quits rate on the y-axis. A hot job market does not reliably make workers confident enough to quit and chase it, and across the full 51-state table the two rates correlate only weakly. Nevada's own openings rate is 3.1% against a 4% average, and its quits rate is 1.8% against a 2.2% average.
