Overall Labor Shortages
Many companies are still fighting to secure workers in the siupply chain overall. Forbes reports, “An Arkansas manufacturing company owner said that her company has had trouble hiring unskilled factory workers. An equipment wholesaler covering the Pacific Northwest market has 15 openings for warehouse workers and drivers across all of his locations. His suppliers blame their backorders on the labor shortage. An Iowa banker reported more job openings than ever before at his company, and that their clients include four companies that could each hire 50 people, if only 50 people would apply for the jobs. A Washington state credit union president named staffing as his organization’s top challenge, a view echoed by a banker in a nearby city.”
