For anyone who may be hesitant to apply for jobs right now, City of Duluth Director of Workforce Development Elena Foshay says it's a great time to do so.
"Right now, we're in this crazy situation where there's more jobs available than people looking for work, so it's actually a really good time to be a job seeker because there's lots of opportunities there. Employers are offering hiring bonuses, they've increased wages, all kinds of things to try to attract applicants, so it's a really good time to be looking for work," said Foshay.
