Hello - I am looking to see if anyone has quick access to museum employee turnover rates for the past 4 years and would be willing to share?

Thanks!

Dear Sue & colleagues:

My recent bookmarks include the following:

My blog, Solving Task Saturation for Museum Workers, also has various posts addressing the recent buzz-word "the Great Resignation" at https://solvetasksaturation.wordpress.com/?s=%22great+resignation%22 .

Trusting this might be of some help.

Respectfully yours

Hi Sue, we conducted a survey with science museum educators about their perceptions of the field, educator pay, and why they may choose to leave the field. It doesn't have turnover numbers but may be of interest for you. I've attached a copy for you but let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Megan
