In recent months, headlines about the so-called “Great Resignation” have abounded: Americans, the story goes, are reevaluating their work lives and leaving their jobs in droves.

Guests:

Ulrike Malmendier, professor of economics and finance, the Department of Economics and the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley

Callum Williams, senior economics editor, The Economist
