There is an easy way for businesses to fix that though: Pay people more. If you compensate people for what they worth they will stay, if you don't they will leave. I don't think it's a good idea to shame people into staying in a job where they are being paid less than they could earn on the open market. Also why should I stay indebted to a company that won't/can't pay what I'm worth? Loyalty died a long time ago. There are no pensions or other incentives to stay and businesses lay people off at the first sign of trouble. If a business can fire or lay me off without warning then I'm not going to feel bad about leaving (and often giving 2-4 weeks notice).
