> More people are leaving their jobs, and disloyal young people may have something to do with that.
And how did we get those disloyal employees? Maybe it's a product of companies
not providing with a meaningful career development, not investing in their
employees, and hiring/firing people at company's discretion? Loyalty is a two
way bond.
Lack of loyalty can't be attributed to loose laws during the recession,
because it's much older than 2007+. For how long is it uncommon that somebody
stays for dozen years in the same company?
In some states that may be true. If anything labor law has been becoming more employee friendly in California.
I must really be an outlier then. I was with the same company for 25+ years before being laid off. Because the job market for electronics engineers is so bad where I live,
I've chosen to semi-retire and look around to see what I might do bring in income which doesn't involve a W2 job.
Maybe people are just frustrated with what corporate America has to offer with regards to employment opportunities. At some point the burdens of being an employee in a corporate environment exceed the point where it is advantageous to run your own business or be a freelancer.

If by "some states" you mean "some (most?) parts of the Western world".
