#3Based only on anecdotal evidence (and yeah the plural of anecdote is not data) I'd sugges that figure wildy, wildly underestimated.
I'm trying to think if I know /anyone/ over 35 who hasn't? Maybe, but I have to think quite hard.

#4Not everyone has the freedom to quit their job, small towns, limited skill sets, transportation issues, family issues, etc. etc. etc, otherwise the number would probably be at 75%.

It's probably closer to 100%. People quit bosses, not jobs.

That's a nice meme from LinkedIn but I'm sure there a few other reasons including a better paycheck, flexibility, or even benefits.
