A higher percentage of Arizonans quit their jobs in March than almost anywhere in the nation. Federal data collected by WalletHub finds the “quit rate’’ hit 4.2%. The same data put the Arizona quit rate for the past year at 3.3%, the third highest figure in the nation. On Thursday, the Arizona Commerce Authority put the quit rate for March at an even higher 4.5% once seasonal adjustments are made. The lack of availability of other and potentially better jobs during the recession was not lost on Arizona workers: The quit rate at that time dropped below 1.6.
