WASHINGTON (AP) — New White House press secretary
Karine Jean Pierre was delivering her third on-camera

White House is immune from what has been called “the
great resignation” as employers struggle to fill vacancies
and workers jump to new jobs at record rates.

high staff turnover as President Joe Biden nears 18 months
in office. Long hours, low morale and relatively low pay
are taking a toll on both the ranks of the senior staff and

times: Two-thirds of the White House press shop, much of
the COVID-19 response team, two of the deputy coun-
