Healthcare plays a big part. If we had socialized medicine people would feel much more comfortable moving jobs.
When I was unemployed, healthcare was free. When I took a quick min wage job to pay rent, healthcare ate like 30% of my paycheck.
Decided to just... Not have healthcare for a while until I could get back on my feet.
I'm so sorry. Your government takes and takes, blocks progress, and then won't even cover your basic human needs. It's inhuman. :(
