Some small businesses are still struggling to hire qualified workers, even as Americans return to the U.S. job market in droves.
Shirley Hughes is seen in her Sweet Cheats bakery April 15, 2022, in Atlanta. Some small businesses are still struggling to hire qualified workers, even as the broader picture in the U.S. job market looks much brighter.
In March, employers advertised a record 11.5 million job openings. The United States now has two job openings for every unemployed person. But a large number of smaller businesses say they’re having trouble getting candidates to even apply for openings, particularly in the hard-hit leisure and hospitality industry. Owners are taking on more work themselves and improvising other ways to get by.
“It’s small enough so I can do it myself, it’s not bad,” she said. Still, she would like to add some staff so she could serve dinner again. She’s been serving breakfast and lunch only and closing at 3 p.m. since the pandemic started. And she doesn’t see the job picture improving anytime soon. “There’s nobody to hire, there’s nobody out there looking for jobs,” said Anesh Bodasing, who opened Tiffin Box, a fast-casual Indian restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 2019 with 20 staffers.Last year in April 2021, Bodasing temporarily opened a second location in a food hall. But then the staffing shortage began to hit home.
