The demographic
most prone to
'quiet quitting'
By Claire Wallace
C
ollege educated men between the ages
of 25 and 39 led the "quiet quitting"
movement in the U.S. between 2019 and
2022, according to a Jan. 9 report from Bloomberg.
Men between the ages of 25 and 39 voluntarily
worked 16 hours less per week, on average, while
men with a bachelor's degree voluntarily worked
14 hours less per week.
The quiet quitting trend, the act of quietly cutting
back on and taking less work responsibility,
emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. A
large chunk of Americans began to cut back on
working hours as work from home became a trend
nationwide.
Overall, U.S. workers spent an average of 11 fewer
hours on the job during the pandemic, the largest
reduction in working hours since 2007.
Women cut down on their working hours by six a
week, on average.
Despite the step back from the workplace since
2019, American employees still work an average
of 1,791 more hours a year than other developed
nations, including Japan, Canada and the United
Kingdom. n
