πŸ’‘ INSIGHT OF THE DAY: About 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs in August. That's nearly 1 in 30 workers, marking the highest rate ever reported by the Bureau of Labor Services. As a general rule of thumb, the more workers feel comfortable quitting, the healthier the job market because it's a sign they're confident they can get another position. But with labor shortages bedeviling the economy, it's not quite the same this time around.

πŸ“° And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. Millennials are flooding the housing market. But what (and where) are they buying? That depends.

2. Southwest Airlines says sorry: They're quietly handing out free vouchers caught up in the flight cancellation fiasco last weekend.

3. Don't max out your mortgage: Here are four reasons not to borrow as much as you qualify for when buying a house.

4. Do we need a fourth round of stimulus checks?At least one study argues yes.

5. Phone feel cluttered? Here's the best way to organize your iPhone and Android apps.

6. Autonomous vehicles have a long way to go: Confused self-driving cars are flooding a normally quiet dead-end street in San Francisco.

πŸš— Maybe we should cut them a break. After all, who among us hasn't gotten turned around on a dead-end street?
