Low pay, minimal opportunities for growth, and disrespectful work environments are just a handful of the top reasons employees quit their jobs, according to Pew Research Center. Of course, there are myriad reasons workers might put in their notices, ranging from the mundane, such as moving to a new state, to the dramatic, like having blow-up arguments with a supervisor.

Quits are down from the recent span of historically high rates during the Great Resignation.

To discover which ones, Stacker used Bureau of Labor Statistics data to rank states by their preliminary March quit rates, using the number of quitters as a tiebreaker when needed. Quit rates are calculated by taking the number of quits during the month as a percentage of the total number of jobs in a state.
