For various reasons, Trump's administration is full of a lot of early exits, more than any other presidency. The volatility in this adminstration is quite high.
President Donald Trump’s first year in office has seen a record number of staff turnover, with 34 percent of the administration resigning, being reassigned or being fired.
Quote:
The next-highest administration turnover rate was when Ronald Reagan was in the White House. In 1981, 17 percent of senior aides left Reagan’s administration.
So what's so unusual about this, given that Trump was elected by a grass-roots revolt, and has earned the enmity of a well-organized political machine, pandering to long-standing resentments and peddling class warfare to an economically-ignorant clientele?

What's unusual is what is in the op: highest turnover rate. That point coupled with the fact that supposedly Trump only hires "the best people" makes this even more interesting.
The obvious implication and insinuation is that Trump's adminstration is a mess. Full of inexperienced and unqualified people.
A new analysis shared exclusively with the Guardian has found that 80% of nominations for top jobs in the Trump administration have gone to men – putting Donald Trump on track to assemble the most male-dominated federal government in nearly a quarter-century.
...
By contrast, men in government outnumbered women three-to-one during the first term of George W Bush, and there were two women for every five men in government during the Clinton and Obama administrations, according to a 2013 New York Times analysis of all appointees, Senate approved or not.
I've heard plenty of people sing this same song about Trump turnover, then turn and mock anyone who points out he chaos inside the Russian collusion investigation with Peter Strzok being demoted, Lisa Page resigning, James Rybicki resigning, Bruce Ohr being demoted, Bruce Ohr being demoted a second time, Andrew McCabe retiring, James Baker retiring & Judge Rudolph Contreras being yanked off the Flynn case. I thought the FBI only hired the best? Why can't Robert Mueller or Christoper Wray keep talented people?
Those touting Trump's binders of women are including many lower level jobs.
The WH is known to be chaotic. Trump hires the worst people. Probably because he doesn't care about their qualifications or experience--just how far they'll bend over and/or humiliate themselves for him.
He needed to vett them, like that 24 year old Drug Enforcement Czar. As we all know, 24 year old campaign workers are the BEST available for highly places paid positions.

Uh, because he lied when he claimed he knew the best people and would drain the swamp???
But truth and lie stopped making a difference a long time ago, eh?
