Employers Struggle To Find Workers |
Southern California theme parks, restaurants, and other retailers have had trouble filling positions even as COVID-19 restrictions loosen. Many employers have offered higher wages and incentives in an attempt to motivate new hires. Research suggests this may be due to people making more money through federal and state unemployment benefits than while they were working. |
